Description of the problem | On july 8th 2016, at 9:37 a. M., while slowly pulling into a parking space at creekwood dog park in bradenton florida, my tesla model x suddenly accelerated under its own volition, drove over a parking stop, over a five inch curb, and then hit and knocked over a concrete light pole. All this happened in a distance of less than twenty feet. Tesla was notified immediately and the car was taken to dimmitt collision center in clearwater, florida. The service manager at tesla of tampa, told me verbally the log from the edr says the car was traveling at 6 mph, then the accelerator was advanced to over 50% and then to 87%. The car accelerated to 20 mph and abruptly stopped. I denied this scenario and asked for a supervisor. Tesla |
