Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2018 TESLA MODEL P100D. ON DEC 17 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:40 AM I AND A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE WERE DRIVING TO MY HOME AT 804 DUKE STREET, ALEXANDRIA, VA. MY ASSOCIATE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1-2 MILES/HOUR AND STARTING TO PARK. THE PARKING LOCATION IS IN FRONT OF A BRICK WALL. WHILE COMING TO OUR FINAL STOP THE TESLA BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AS THOUGH THE GAS WAS PUNCHED (IT WAS NOTE). THE CAR THRUST FORWARD AND SLAMMED INTO THE WALL, DESTROYING A PART OF THE WALL AND DAMAGING THE FRONT OF THE TESLA. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT ENGAGE AND WE WERE NOT INJURED. THE CAR SIMPLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO TESLA BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED.
