NHTSA Complaint #10910884 — 2016 TESLA MODEL X

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA MODEL X AND MODEL S UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INCIDENTS. IT APPEARS THAT TESLA IS STILL USING AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT HAS ONLY A SINGLE SENSOR. THIS PEDAL IS SUPPLIED BY FORD WHO HAVE A HISTORY OF UA INCIDENTS INVOLVING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. SOME MANUFACTURERES HAVE NOW SWAPPED TO A DUAL SENSOR 6 WIRE SYSTEM. IN THE EVENT OF A BAD INPUT FROM ONE SENSOR THIS TRIGGERS A FAULT CODE AND DISABLES THE ACCELERATOR. TESLA HAS REPEATEDLY CLAIMED THAT IN ALL THESE INCIDENTS THE LOGS SHOW 100% THROTTLE. THIS CAN EASILY HAPPEN DUE TO DIRT OR WHISKERS ON THE SENSOR. THE LOG WOULD BE UNABLE TO SHOW WHETHER IT WAS A GENUINE CASE OF PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR OR AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH. I SHOULD NOT NEED TO REMIND YOU OF THE HISTORY OF TOYATA AND FORD UA CASES AND THE NHTSA. TESLA ND ITS SUPPORTERS CONSTANTLY REPEAT THE OLD CLAIM THAT ALL CASES OF UA ARE CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR. THAT WAS TRUE FOR MECHANICAL THROTTLES BUT IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EMI OR SPURIOUSLY INDUCED GLITCHES. WITH THE TESLA'S INSANE AND LUDICROUS ACCELERATION THE RESULTS ARE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN FOR A LESS POWERFULL VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS TO WHETHER TESLA IS STILL USING A THROTTLE SENSOR THAT DOES NOT HAVE DUAL CIRCUIT SAFETY PROTECTION
