I basically learned about all of this today, lol

The cybertruck and delorean got stuck acceleration for different reasons, but kind of the same effect. Cybertruck has a decorative plate on the pedal that works loose and wedges fully down against the footwell trim. The delorean had a throttle cable that would basically stick at a certain point sometimes when you let off the throttle. The fix there was to tap the accelerator pedal until it worked loose again.

The cause of the cybertruck issue was using lubricant to install the decorative plate. The recall factory fix for the delorean was to lubricate the throttle cable with antifreeze. A very slapdash fix

First as farce, then as comedy.
