Consumer Description

This has happened several times and I am unsure what to do to prevent it. I have small children who have various things in the back seats. Sometimes during sudden braking a water bottle or a toy will roll under the drivers seat and under the pedals which makes for a very scary situation. I’ve read online that this has happened to other Tesla owners as well. I hope that there can be a fix for this as currently there is no barrier between the drivers seat and the back seats.
