Consumer Description

MY MODEL X WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AS IT WAS NEAR HOME. BEFORE ENTERING THE CURVE, THE X SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. IT FIRST CRASHED INTO MY OTHER PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, PUSHING THE PARKED CAR INTO MY GARAGE. THEN IT CONTINUED TO HIT A CITY LIGHT POLE, BREAKING IT AT THE BASE. THE X CONTINUED TO HIT MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S TWO CARS PARKED OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOME, DAMAGING THEIR GARAGE. THE CAR FINALLY STOP WHEN IT HIT THE WALL OF THIRD NEIGHBOR' THAT DIVIDE UP HER DRIVEWAY. TESLA ROADSIDE SUPPORT CONTACTED ME ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT BECAUSE THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE MY AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND MAY REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. I REQUESTED TESLA TO REVIEW THE LOG OF THE CAR AND EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN I FOLLOWED UP THAT FIRST WEEK THEY ACKNOWLEDGED MY REQUEST IN AN EMAIL AND TOLD ME THAT THE REQUEST IS WITH THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM AND IT MAY TAKE A WHILE BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSE. HOWEVER, AS OF TODAY, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM.
