Description of the problem	Driving on the 101 freeway in santa barbara. Road was wet after a light rain at around 6:30am. Was in the middle lane, very light traffic, on a wide curve. Was not speeding, accelerating, braking or steering. Was not using autopilot. Tires had 11,000 miles and tread was still good. Car all of a sudden spun out of control, turning 180 degrees and crashed against a concrete center divider. I have a video saved from the car's cameras of the entire accident. You can see a car preceding me in the same lane at a similar speed, was not affected. When driving the tesla on other raining days during the year i had the sensation that the car did not handle well on wet roads, slipping when accelerating. The insurance now owns the car so i don't have access to the black box but i know that tesla has the data from the crash which they are not sharing with me. The called me 10 minutes after the crash noting that i had crashed and asked me if i was ok. A short video of the crash is available here: https://youtu. Be/gyqyxgeot94 i have video from the other cameras too, as well as video footage before this segment.
