| Description of the problem | I was pulling into a driveway when my four week old tesla model 3, unexpectedly accelerated for no obvious reason. It felt like car was flying at a high speed and i had no control. In a blurr, we were surrounded by inflated airbags on all sides in a smoke filled car and i realized car had crashed into the garage door and now was pinned under a crumpled garage door. In seconds, an everyday instance of pulling into the driveway had suddenly changed into a nightmare. |
