Sounds like a build issue (what else is new for Tesla?) from the article. Apparently the accelerator can get stuck in the trim of he vehicle resulting in a trapped accelerator.
The controversial cars’ accelerators can get stuck in the trim of the car, meaning that it may get trapped accelerating.
In this case, owners will have to return their cars to have the pedals fixed, free of charge. Tesla advised affected drivers that they can press the brake pedal, which will bring the car to a stop.
The problem came about from the use of a new lubricant in the making of the accelerator pedal, Tesla said. That meant that the pad on the accelerator pedal can come off and become stuck in the car’s trim.
