NHTSA Complaint #11230558 — 2016 TESLA MODEL X

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL IN TESLAS. THERE HAS BEEN A DIS-PROPORTIONALLY HIGH NUMBER OF CASES OF UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND THE FAULT HAS ALWAYS BEEN BLAMED UPON DRIVER ERROR. HERE IS A REPORT THAT PROVES THE PROBLEM IS AN ELECTRONIC DESIGN FLAW AND THAT TESLA IS DELIBERATELY COVERING UP THE PROBLEM.

BELT PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 1 MAY 2018 ABSTRACT: ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR DATA FROM THE LOG FILE OF A TESLA S SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT IS PROVIDED, AND A TESLA CIRCUIT DIAGRAM IS USED TO EXPLAIN HOW THE DATA IS OBTAINED FROM THE TWO ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSORS. EXAMINATION OF THE DATA SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT INCREASED TO CAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. BUT THE INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE DRIVER. INSTEAD, THE INCREASE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAULT IN THE MOTOR SPEED SENSOR, WITH WHICH IT SHARES A COMMON+ 5V POWER AND GROUND. THIS INCREASE IN PEDAL SENSOR OUTPUT OCCURS WITHOUT THE DRIVER PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ** I AM NOT A TESLA OWNER BUT I AM FORCED TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH THEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER URGENTLY. I AM NOT A US RESIDENT, A DUMMY ADDRESS HAS BEEN USED TO SATISFY YOUR WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS. MY TRUE NAME AND ADDRESS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS SUBMISSION. DATE OF INCIDENT AND NUMBER OF CASUALTIES ARE GUESTIMATES.
