The owner then contacted Tesla, and Tesla responded: "We have contacted the owner to understand the details, after multi-party comparison and analysis, and the final communication and verification with the owner himself, the driver of the incident system stepped on the accelerator pedal, and has now assisted the owner in the vehicle insurance claim process under the approval of the owner."
In summary, Tesla's explanation of the accident is: "This incident was caused by the driver accidentally stepping on the accelerator pedal"
This news has also triggered a hot discussion, many relevant people judge that the probability of this matter is the same as Tesla official said, is the owner guessed the wrong throttle, to know that the probability of brake failure + automatic acceleration at the same time is almost 0!
Here to remind everyone, the vehicle in the single pedal mode, stepping on the electric door is to accelerate, releasing the electric door is to slow down in the driving process, I hope that everyone should be vigilant, in case of emergencies, keep calm, do not panic, correctly control the vehicle.
