Consumer Description

WENT TO SEE AN EYE DR, TRY TO GET TO A PARKING SPOT WHICH THERE WERE A WHOLE ROW OF EMPTY PARKING SPACES. AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OVER THE CURB, I THEN APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT STILL KEEP GOING THEN IT THE WALL ABOUT 8FT FR THE CURB STRAIGHT ON. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YRS AND NEVER ACCIDENTALLY APPLY TO WRONG PEDAL. I WENT TO TESLA NEAR BY TO COMPLAIN RIGHT AWAY AND THEY INSIST I HAVE APPLIED TO WRONG PEDAL! SUCH A IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENT! I DONT HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN IF YOU CAN SEND SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE IF THE CAR HAS SOME RECORDING TO VIEW LIKE A BLACKBOX FOR AN AIRPLANE.TESLA MAY CLAIMS THEY R RIGHT FOR OTHER CASES THEY HAVE BUT I M VERY SURE I NEVER ACCELERATE INTO THE PARKING SPOT. I HAVE THE VIDEO RECORDING THE CAR DRIVING AND YOU CAN SEE IT STARTED ACCELERATE AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT LIKE MANY PEOPLE CLAIM ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY EXPERIENCE SIMILAR SITUATION.
