| Description of the problem | On 7/18/2020, i pulled into parking spot and my tesla accelerated suddenly went over the curb, hit the wall of a business, hit the doors of a business and a person coming out of that business then it hit pole and stopped. Ambulance took a person hit to the hospital ( i pray for his wellbeing), i have police reported and car towed away ( totally ruined). It was like a nightmare when car sped up suddenly and you see person thrown into your windshield. Something must be done before more people are hurt and lives are taken. Tesla this is serious. We just have upgraded the software, last week. |
