starting to come back and we're going to have very kind of rinse, repeat forecast of yesterday where we start to see some of that marine layer rebuild. tonight, we wake up a little foggy tomorrow. however, my eye is up here where this low pressure system sitting to the north and west of us because that's where we're going to see where we could get. maybe the slightest chance of a little rain late next week. now, that's not to late next week. so your weekend is looking spectacular. as you can see, we'll have a few those clouds on saturday. but are looking really good. but when i take my eye to tomorrow, i also notice that we're going to be a little breezy like we did today. notice we get to the afternoon. we're going to see some of those gusts, especially the coast between about 2025 miles per hour by sunday. that does start to ramp down. so talking about a chance of rain, is there a little rain? the forecast, right? it's a little late to be talking about rain right at this point in april. having said that, there is a very slight chance it would be overnight thursday into friday. i'm going dive into that when come back in just a bit. we'll talk about it.

>> tesla's eye-catching cyber trucks are being recalled according to the highway traffic safety administration. there's a manufacturing flaw in the trucks accelerator pedal and it's causing it to get stuck at high speed. a kron four's rob nesbitt spoke with an owner of a cybertruck today about this recall.

>> the cybertruck honor i spoke to says he has not had his accelerator gets stuck but search social media and you'll find several videos of owners showing the problem. >> see how tight we know in the ratings. it took him 2 years of being on a waitlist. but david la placa finally got his new cybertruck 2 weeks ago. new thing versus the old tesla's. he loves how it drives all the advances in technology, but he doesn't love how eye-catching it can gets maybe a little too much attention. >> people always i literally have people want to pull up and parking lots. clapping here. >> cyber trucks are also getting the attention of the national highway traffic safety administration. nearly 4,000 cyber trucks likely all on the road today are being recalled because of a faulty accelerator pedal supposedly been some instances is and then it can kind of get stuck in. there is what hurt. it hasn't happened to la placa. but many drivers like jose martinez had posted on tiktok slip up showing how the cover of their accelerator can slide forward and get stuck in that rim of the interior. this

morning, i went down to the >> tesla dealership marion to talk about it. and said they're going to fixing it by putting basically a vote on solar panel. so that's what the fix might be simple. but given the fact that cyber trucks are made to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 30 seconds. >> sam abuelsamid with guidehouse insights as the problem is not simple. drivers don't have a whole lot of time to respond. >> in and in this case, you know where it could come as a complete surprise. you know, all of a sudden. >> you press press the foot down. alright. and then you lift off and the car study at the truck is still accelerating. you might have no idea why a full senate says the accelerator issue is a problem of poor engineering and poor manufacturing at tesla. but he does not see the first recall of cyber trucks having much of a stain on the company's reputation. >> this driver would agree. my spirits been amazing. i love this thing. the recall affects all 2024 cyber trucks made between november 13th and

april 4th. tesla is also delaying deliveries of new trucks reporting in the newsroom. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> next tonight on kron for news at 5. but friends and family and neighbors gathered to remember the life of mario gonzalez 3 years after his death. plus, oakland police are celebrating several arrests connected to a string of robberies around the town. get the latest details there. and a sold-out event to try and bring a community together. black student union at castro valley high and alameda high. joining forces to get the civil rights icon to spe
