Description of the problem	As i returned home from work and entered my driveway at very low speed to park, the tesla just took off at what felt like full power acceleration. It could not be stopped and hit my two car garage. Both garage doors and the central column were unhinged and damaged. The contents stored in the garage were damaged and an internal wall was also knocked off. The car was declared a total loss and property damage was extensive. It should be noted that such sudden unintended acceleration had happened with this car a few months earlier also and was reported to tesla with a request that a safety analysis be performed. They stated that there was nothing wrong with the car which i do not agree with in view of this second incident. I was lucky first time since there was no car parked on the other side of the driveway and i was able to turn right, drive on to the grassed area, and then on to the road. Tesla has a serious safety problem of sudden unintended acceleration without input from the driver. It must be investigated and fixed.
