With it on the pedal, Tesla workers drill a hole as specified and install a rivet to secure the pedal pad so it doesn't come off due to the “unapproved change” during manufacturing that made it slipperier than anticipated.
He Service bulletin published by Tesla reveals that the process has a few other required steps, including measuring “the distance between the bottom of the aluminum accelerator pedal pad and the bottom of the pedal backrest” before work begins. If the bottom of the pad is 5mm or more from the bottom of the pedal, they are supposed to replace the entire pedal assembly.
Once everything is done, they are supposed to inspect the work with a mirror and clean any residue the process left on the client's $99,000+ truck that came with an unreliable accelerator pedal.
