Description of the problem	Unintended acceleration of 2018 tesla model 3. Issue description: issue occurred on 05/04/18 at approx. 11:52 am while trying to park the vehicle in a parking lot of a grocery store. The vehicle was in the parking space position when it suddenly accelerated without any input from the driver. The brakes were applied however they felt inoperative. It felt as though the driver had no control over braking and the vehicle had a mind of its own. The driver turned the steering wheel to avoid directly hitting a dumpster while trying to brake. The passenger side of the vehicle then hit a curb and a pony wall. After the impact, the driver was able to turn the vehicle while applying the brakes that eventually brought the vehicle to a stop. Probable cause: unknown. Given the vehicle is new, it is difficult to identify a reason why would it accelerate unintentionally.
