This has been an interesting first week of early access with a lot of helpful reports from the community. Rather than burdening you with constant announcements, I'll compile all changes into one big list and announce that instead. You can find a more recent list of updates within the game's Update tab.
Fixes(7/27 - 8/2):
-Fixed an issue where the truck's oil light could get stuck in the ON position.
-Increased refresh rate of HUD stats.
-Fixed an issue where movement speed was not affected by player stats.
-Fixed a bug where certain aftermarket parts could be installed over the top of other parts.
-Fix to Jake's furniture mission not getting accepted under certain scenarios.
-Disabled the ability to recycle Jake's furniture.
-! Fixed an issue where the v8 block could break and cause a savegame corruption which could remove many of the player's items and progress.
-Center pistons should now be easier to remove.
-Fixed an issue where the carburetor could get stuck and refuse to detach.
-Fix to oil drain bolt sometimes not rendering on v8.
-Fix to air filter not getting saved properly. This was causing check engine lights in the v8. Replace your air filter i you still have this issue.
-Fixes to mission indexing and fix to junkyard wheels not being present if Jake's quest was saved and exited mid-quest.
-GPU optimization update.
-! Fixed an ongoing cash issue where adding money to a full inventory would count it toward the HUD's currency total without actually adding it, resulting in inflated money totals, and sometimes losing the excess cash. If your inventory is full, it will top off all stacks and leave you with a lose money roll which has the difference. If you are unable to add any more money, check to see if your inventory is full (TAB).

Thank you for all of your reports. I've spoken to hundreds of you on discord this last week, and this community has been unbelievably helpful. While many above issues above have been completely fixed, some of them might require additional attention. This will all happen as quickly as I can manage.
