## Narrative
Attempting to park.  Slowly inching forward while turning left.  Vehicle accelerated. (Sudden Unintended Acceleration: SUA)  Vehicle jumped a curb,  bounced off a tree, dropped off the curb before comping to a stop.  Internet search shows other similar reports; attributed, by Tesla, as pedal misapplication.  This was not "pedal misapplication".  I am not looking for anything.  But NHTSA should increment occurance counter by 1. Tesla has a problem.  Electrical or Mechanical...do not know.  They have also lost me as a customer.  The car will be sold.  I have video...mp4
