Crap summarization this time, it cut out the entire technical problem description:
The problem, which affects all 3,878 Cybertrucks delivered so far, has to do with the EV’s accelerator pedal. Tesla has fitted this with a metal-finish cover to match the brushed metal appearance of the truck itself—no word on whether the pedals rust, too—but it says that at some point, “an unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.”
Thanks to the profile of the Cybertruck’s under dash, if the pedal cover becomes partially detached it can slide up and become trapped in place, wedging the pedal down and unleashing all of the Cybertruck’s substantial power—the dual-motor truck boasts 600 hp (447 kW) and can reach 60 mph (98 km/h) in just over four seconds.
Maybe these summarizations have always been bad, but every time I read one (which has only been in the past couple of months…maybe I’m just getting lazy) they’re terrible. Borderline nonsensical.
Sometimes I appreciate them when it’s summarizing something behind a paywall or on a site I don’t want to give my clicks to. I generally don’t compare the bot summary to the original, but the total lack of problem description here caught my eye. Turns out in this case, the “47% words saved” means the bot deleted two paragraphs. Color me unimpressed, I don’t need AI/LLM to do that.

I love the little aside about the rust. Some journalists still have fun.
