Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I DROVE TO WORK ON MAY 2, 2019, AND WAS TRYING TO PARK IN MY ALLOTTED PARKING STALL ON THE 3RD LEVEL OF MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE. MY PARKING STALL WAS ALONG THE OUTER EDGE OF THE GARAGE AND THE ONLY BARRIER TO THE OUTSIDE WAS A SET OF THREE (ABOUT " DIAMETER) CABLES STRUNG BETWEEN OUTSIDE COLUMNS OF THE GARAGE, BESIDES A THIN PERFORATED CORRUGATED METAL SHEET OUTSIDE THE CABLES, ACTING AS A RAIN STOP. I WAS TRYING TO SLOWLY TURN RIGHT FROM THE PARKING AISLE TO PARK BETWEEN TWO PICKUP TRUCKS ON EITHER SIDE OF MY STALL. WHEN I HAD TURNED PARTWAY INTO MY STALL, MY TESLA SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INTO MY PARKING STALL AT HIGH SPEED, HIT THE OUTSIDE CABLES, REBOUNDED BACKWARDS AND STOPPED ABOUT 10 FEET FROM THE OUTSIDE CABLES. THE CABLES SAVED ME FROM PLUNGING 3 FLOORS DOWN FROM THE GARAGE. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND FRONT PORTIONS OF MY TESLA. THERE WAS ALSO SOME DAMAGE TO THE METAL CORRUGATED SHEETS OUTSIDE THE CABLES AND A SLIGHT DENT ON THE CORNER OF THE VEHICLE PARKED TO MY RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN PARKING IN MY OFFICE PARKING STALL FOR ABOUT THE PAST SIX MONTHS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE LIKE THIS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY CAR ACCELERATED LIKE THAT WITHOUT WARNING AND WHY THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WAS NOT TRIGGERED BY THE OUTSIDE CORRUGATED METAL SHEET. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY TESLA THE PREVIOUS EVENING. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY TESLA AFTER WORK, I GOT THE 'SYSTEMS ARE POWERING..' MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN AFTER A LONG WAIT. THEN, I HAD TO GOOGLE TO FIND A WAY TO REBOOT THE CAR COMPUTER, BY PRESSING TWO BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, I USED THE INTERMITTENT RAIN SENSING WIPERS FOR THE FIRST TIME, AS THERE WAS A LIGHT RAIN. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE BODY SHOP WAITING FOR SOME BACK ORDERED PARTS. I HAVE ASKED TESLA TO DO A DIAGNOSTICS TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SOFTWARE BUGS IN THE SYSTEM.

I ENTERED THE STATIONARY CAR AND TURNED IT ON. THE WINDSHIELD AND ALL INTERIOR GLASS IMMEDIATELY FOGGED MAKING VISIBILITY NEARLY ZERO. THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAME EXTREMELY WET. WIPING THE MOISTURE ONLY RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD. I SET THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS ON MAXIMUM AND ONLY A 8 INCH SEMI CIRCLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD IN-FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WOULD DEFOG. I RESET THE COMPUTER AND NOTHING CHANGED. AFTER 20 MINUTES I CALLED THE EMERGENCY SERVICE NUMBER FOR TESLA. THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING. THE THE TESLA PARKED NEXT TO ME HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ONLY RESETTING THE COMPUTER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED THE SAME MODEL TESLA AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOCATED IN CINCINNATI COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM OR SOLUTION.

MY CAR WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN AUTO PARK AND IT HIT A CAR. I QUICKLY BRAKED TO STOP A WORSE COLLISION. I PATIENTLY WAITED FOR TESLA TO REVIEW THEIR LOGS. THEY INSIST THE AUTO PARK WAS WORKING WITHOUT FAULT."THE ENGINEERS HAVE INDEED SAID THE AUTOPARK FEATURE WAS OPERATING WITHOUT FAULT." I KEEP QUESTIONING THEM. "IF THE VEHICLE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE DOES NOT MEAN THE AUTOPARK FEATURE IS OPERATING WITH FAULT,' SAYS TESLA. I REPLY, 1. WOULD YOU CLARIFY IT AND SAY THAT IF THE VEHICLE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE AUTO PARK ACTIVATED AND THE DRIVER NOT GRABBING THE WHEEL TO INTERRUPT THE PROCESS THAT THE AUTO PARK FEATURE IS OPERATING WITHOUT FAULT? 2. I REPEAT MY QUESTION AGAIN. DO THE ENGINEERS HAVE ANY REASON OR PROOF TO BELIEVE I ACTIVATED THE AUTO PARK INCORRECTLY OR IN ANYWAY INTERRUPTED THE PROGRAM TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT? I UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BUT I WANT THEM TO EITHER ADMIT THE FEATURE WAS AT FAULT OR CONVINCE ME I DID SOMETHING WRONG TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT TO HELP PREVENT ANOTHER ACCIDENT. I THINK OTHER TESLA DRIVERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOW POORLY THIS WORKS. ALSO, I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN BEFOREHAND TELLING THEM THAT I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE AUTO PARK WORKED CORRECTLY. A TESLA SALESPERSON ALSO GOT IN THE CAR WITH ME AND AGREED THAT THE AUTOPARK DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. THIS PROCEEDED THE ACCIDENT. ONCE AGAIN A REPORT THAT THE ENGINEERS SEE NO FAULT.

SO MANY GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS ARE GOING ON, AND THE RESULT OF SOME INVESTIGATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED SOUNDS ALARMING. TESLA'S AUTO PILOT FEATURE IS UNDER INTENSE GOVERNMENT SCRUTINY. TODAY, ELON ANNOUNCED THAT ALL TESLA CARS WILL BE FULLY AUTOMATED DRIVERLESS IN AUGUST. ELON HAS BECOME DESPERATE, INSANE AND DANGEROUS. HE HAS NO REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. IS HE CRAZY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? PLEASE STOP THIS DANGEROUS AND FRAUDULENT MAN, AND PUT HIM IN PRISON FOREVER. HE IS IRRATIONAL, CRUEL AND LETHAL. IT REMINDS ME OF PRESIDENT ASSAD OF SYRIA USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON HIS OWN PEOPLE. IT ALSO REMINDS ME OF SADDAM HOSSEIN USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON KURDISH PEOPLE AND ON IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING IRAN IRAQ WAR. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN A CONVENTIONAL WAR. HOWEVER, SADDAM HOSSEIN DID SO AND KILLED SO MANY IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING THE 8 YEAR WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND IRAQ. I SAW PICTURES OF SO MANY IRANIAN SEVERELY INJURED AND BURNED SOLDIERS BEING AIR LIFTED TO GERMANY FROM THE WAR ZONE, BECAUSE IRAN DIDN'T HAVE THE MEDICAL CAPABILITY TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. NOTHING CAN BE DONE ANYWAYS. ONCE YOU ARE EXPOSED TO MUSTARD GAS, YOU'RE FINISHED. IT'S JUST THE MATTER OF QUICK DEATH, OR VERY PAINFUL PROLONGED DEATH. ELON NOW HAS TURNED TO CHEMICAL WEAPONS OUT OF DESPERATION JUST LIKE SADDAM HOSSEIN AND BASHAR ASSAD. THANKS.

IT ALSO REMINDS ME OF SADDAM HOSSEIN USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON KURDISH PEOPLE AND ON IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING IRAN IRAQ WAR. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN A CONVENTIONAL WAR. HOWEVER, SADDAM HOSSEIN DID SO AND KILLED SO MANY IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING THE 8 YEAR WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND IRAQ. I SAW PICTURES OF SO MANY IRANIAN SEVERELY INJURED AND BURNED SOLDIERS BEING AIR LIFTED TO GERMANY FROM THE WAR ZONE, BECAUSE IRAN DIDN'T HAVE THE MEDICAL CAPABILITY TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. NOTHING CAN BE DONE ANYWAYS. ONCE YOU ARE EXPOSED TO MUSTARD GAS, YOU'RE FINISHED. IT'S JUST THE MATTER OF QUICK DEATH, OR VERY PAINFUL PROLONGED DEATH. ELON NOW HAS TURNED TO CHEMICAL WEAPONS OUT OF DESPERATION JUST LIKE SADDAM HOSSEIN AND BASHAR ASSAD. THANKS.
Additional Notes:
THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY MALFUNCTIONS, DEATHS AND FIRES CAUSED BY TESLA'S AUTO PILOT FEATURE. SO MANY GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS ARE GOING ON, AND THE RESULT OF SOME INVESTIGATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED SOUNDS ALARMING. TESLA'S AUTO PILOT FEATURE IS UNDER INTENSE GOVERNMENT SCRUTINY. TODAY, ELON ANNOUNCED THAT ALL TESLA CARS WILL BE FULLY AUTOMATED DRIVERLESS IN AUGUST. ELON HAS BECOME DESPERATE, INSANE AND DANGEROUS. HE HAS NO REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. IS HE CRAZY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? PLEASE STOP THIS DANGEROUS AND FRAUDULENT MAN, AND PUT HIM IN PRISON FOREVER. HE IS IRRATIONAL, CRUEL AND LETHAL. IT REMINDS ME OF PRESIDENT ASSAD OF SYRIA USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON HIS OWN PEOPLE. IT ALSO REMINDS ME OF SADDAM HOSSEIN USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON KURDISH PEOPLE AND ON IRANIAN SOLDIERS DURING IRAN IRAQ WAR.
