Narrative

Here’s a clear, professional paragraph you can use for your NHTSA report: ⸻ While using Tesla’s Auto Summon feature in a controlled parking environment, my vehicle (2017 Tesla Model S) made unintended contact with a stationary garage pillar. At the time, I was actively supervising the vehicle as required, and it was operating at low speed. The vehicle appeared to misjudge clearance while maneuvering, resulting in a sideswipe to the front passenger side and damage to the side mirror. This incident posed a safety risk as the vehicle’s automated steering did not maintain adequate distance from a fixed object, which could present greater danger in tighter environments or near pedestrians. There were no warning lamps, alerts, or abnormal sounds prior to the incident to indicate an imminent issue. No emergency crews responded, and there were no injuries. The collision involved only a stationary object (garage pillar).
