The car suddenly took over and accelerated beyond control while I pulled the car into a parking space. Front airbags were deployed and the front end of the car was damaged beyond repair. The car was totaled.
1. Tesla provides owners manual in infotainment system to scroll. It is not opening at all, they are saying my combination of hardware(hw) and software(sw) is the reason and they have observed same issue in other cars too. Since oct 2020 fix for this issue has not come and they are saying a future sw upgade will fix this, but within a year my car warranty will be over.
