Narrative

The Tesla Model Y autoaccelerated even with me pressing the brakes. The car was on regenerative breaking and instead of stopping it accelerated lunging into the walkway and almost killing a person. The car hit another car, 2 bike racks and a tree as well as concrete slabs beofr coming to a stop. There have been reports of unintended auto acceleration from Tesla cars. The car components has not been inspected by police, manufacturer or insurance representatives. There were warninngs, especially with the car reporting that sensors were not properly calibrated. I reported this to Tesla agents and they told me not to worry about it. I am injured with a left wrist sprain as well as Neck and back injuries. I need Tesla to take ownership and pay dearly!
