## Narrative
I was driving my normal route utilizing the autosteer functionality of the Tesla that I purchased and it suddenly jerked and crashed into a parked vehicle, which resulted in a total loss of my vehicle by the insurance company. Thank god nobody was injured during the accident but it was scary, dangerous and a major inconvenience. Once the accident happened (on 12/6/2023), I submitted this claim over the phone on December 7th 2023 with Tesla and Geico, my insurance company. I spoke with the Tesla representative for over an hour giving details of the accident and have yet to hear back. My insurance premium has gone up significantly and I need Tesla to agree that it was not the driver but the software's mistake that caused the accident.
