What owners wrote
I was parking my car I heard and felt the car begin to accelerate. I put the car in park and step firmly on the brake peddle.then of it own volition it mounted the adjoining embankment and collided with the tree. This caused extensive front end damage.
I have experienced many times that I press the brake pedal and the gas (acceleration pedal on the tesla) pedal at the same when I try to use the brake. I have own 4 different cars and I never experienced that I am pressing the brake and the gas pedal at the same time. So I pay a bit attention on how the gas pedal and the brake pedal design.
