HERE IS A TESLA MODEL X IN THE SALVAGE YARD. IT HAS BEEN IN A MAJOR CRASH THE FRONT LH SUSPENSION TOP LINK IS TORN AWAY WHICH COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CRASH. HOWEVER, THE TIRE HAS HAD THE TREAD SEVERELY WORN AWAY OVER THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE. THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AFTER THE IMPACT UNLESS FULL POWER WAS STILL APPLIED TO THE MOTOR POST IMPACT. IT IS FAR MORE PROBABLE THAT THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED PRIOR TO THE CRASH BY A MECHANICAL FAULT IN THE SUSPENSION. SEVERAL OTHER MODEL X CARS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH BROKEN SUSPENSIONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER URGENTLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATE OF CRASH, DETAILS OF INJURY ARE ONLY ESTIMATES.

Potential Consequences:
ON JULY 8TH 2016, AT 9:37 A.M., WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT CREEKWOOD DOG PARK IN BRADENTON FLORIDA, MY TESLA MODEL X SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNDER ITS OWN VOLITION, DROVE OVER A PARKING STOP, OVER A FIVE INCH CURB, AND THEN HIT AND KNOCKED OVER A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN A DISTANCE OF LESS THAN TWENTY FEET. TESLA WAS NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DIMMITT COLLISION CENTER IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT TESLA OF TAMPA, TOLD ME VERBALLY THE LOG FROM THE EDR SAYS THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT 6 MPH, THEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS ADVANCED TO OVER 50% AND THEN TO 87%. THE CAR ACCELERATED TO 20 MPH AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED. I DENIED THIS SCENARIO AND ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR. TESLA'S SOUTHEAST REGIONAL MANAGER MET US AT THE BODY SHOP. HE HANDED ME A LETTER THAT HAD DIFFERENT EDR RESULTS-VEHICLE SPEED WAS 7 MPH, PEDAL POSITION WENT FROM 3.2% TO 15.6% TO 100% AND CAR WENT TO 14 MPH. THE FIRST REPAIR ESTIMATE SHOWED ACTUAL MILEAGE AS 205 AND A SUBSEQUENT REPAIR ESTIMATE SHOWS THE ACTUAL MILEAGE AS 1425. THESE FIGURES ARE INACCURATE SINCE I HAD LOOKED AT THE ODOMETER SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 1800. I INFORMED TESLA THAT I AM POSITIVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF DOUBT THAT THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE COMPUTER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT WHICH THEY DENY. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE INDUSTRY STANDARD SINCE EXPERTS WILL TESTIFY THAT ALTHOUGH A CAR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THERE WILL BE NO TRACEABLE EVIDENCE OF THAT RESPONSIBILITY AND THEREFORE THE MANUFACTURER HAS PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. TESLAS ARE UNDERGOING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AT A RATE MORE FREQUENT THAN 1/5,000 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED. THIS IS WAY MORE FREQUENT THAN THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. GENERAL MOTORS HAS AN EXTREMELY GOOD RATE OF 1/123,000 VEHICLES.

SERIOUSLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND LIKE OTHERS SAY ON OVERCAST DAYS AND IN THE EVENING" "VERYSAD, YESTERDAY AT 12:41 PM NEW IS THERE NOT A SAFETY INSPECTION COMPLETED BEFORE EACH AND EVERY CAR IS RELEASED TO THE BUYER? THIS GHOSTING IS VERY EASY TO SEE!!!! I'M JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SUCH A MAJOR DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE! I WOULD HAVE WAITED ANOTHER 6MTHS FOR MY MODEL X TO HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

"ONESIXEIGHT, 7 MINUTES AGO NEW I DON'T THINK RECENT BUILDS ARE ANY BETTER. TESLA HAS SAID THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX OR SOLUTION FOR THE MATTER. MY SC HAS OFFERED TO TRY ANOTHER WINDSHIELD, BUT SAID IN ALL HONESTLY, THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS LIKE SOME WINDSHIELDS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, SO ITS ALL DEPENDENT ON YOUR LUCK. I BELIEVE TESLA MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION TO JUST RELEASE CARS KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTED INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO FIND A SOLUTION. LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, IT TAKES A SECOND TO LOOK AND YOU CAN EASILY SEE WHEN DRIVING. I LOVE THE COMPANY AND NOW MY 3RD TESLA, BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
