What owners wrote
Our 5 day old tesla x while entering a parking stall suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated at high speed on its own climbing over grass and and crashed into a building. The airbags deployed and my wife's arms have burn marks as a consequence.
I was going up by driveway waiting for my garage door to open. I took my foot off the accelerator and was slowing down without hitting the breaks waiting for the garage door to open. The car took off through the garage door and hit my husbands car sitting in the garage.
