I was driving the Tesla and coming up my circular drive(note I was driving uphill). The car suddenly accelerated and went out of control. I pumped the brake and took my foot off the accelerator but the car kept going and crashed into our house (sunroom) at end of the driveway at high speed > we went through the casement windows and brick foundation and would have gone through the other side window and down a hill and probably been killed if it were not for a heavy cast iron table that brought us to a stop. The airbags never opened.The car was totaled(the insurance company declared it a total lost and refused to repair and paid us a small amount , less than we paid for the car.

On Wednesday, [XXX], 2024 between 1015-1045 am while traveling on [XXX] , my vehicle unexpectedly accelerated while entering the left turn lane. On ramp to [XXX] northbound, Monroe county, Pennsylvania. At the time I was giving steering input and had also applied the windshield wiper system. This happened a second time while approaching the intersection of [XXX] northbound. While taking my foot off the accelerator pedal to allow for regenerative braking and using the windshield wipers the vehicle accelerated at a quick rate. In both instances I had to apply the brake to slow it down. I noticed Tesla on that date. Tesla related that someone would contact me. No co text has been made as of the submission of this report.

Front motor of 3-week-old Tesla Model Y became disabled while driving on a highway at 65 mph. This meant the car also lost power steering, traction control, and ABS braking. Car was limited to top speed of around 40 mph on a busy highway with very little room to pull over. Car was difficult to steer and braking was greatly reduced. There was no advanced warning of this. Was finally able to pull over, exit and reenter the vehicle, which temporarily corrected the problem. However, when the car was started the next day, the front motor was disabled again, but resolved when the car was restarted. The car was not driven again until Tesla service center was contacted and car was taken in for repair. On the way to the service center, the issue occurred again. The alerts included “Front motor disabled - OK to drive. Vehicle power may be...
