Everyone ITT is acting like it says "may not stop". That's not what it says. Is says, "may or may not disengage THE ACCELERATOR "
Is this dumb shit pressing the accelerator AND brake at the same time???

my dad's old car had to do that or else it would stop at idle lol
Lol, this legit made my day.
electric cars shouldn't need this, they don't have cylinders to loose.
I understand your confusion, I was talking about my dad's, now scrapped, gasoline powered car lol
120k and it thought I had dirt on Hillary.
Okay, can someone explain to me what the fuck this means? Is this guy just speaking gibberish? Or am I out of yet another loop?
He's saying it tried to kill him.
Ahhh... I get it. Wow. And they think people have Trump derangement syndrome?
OOL
*Breaks
Not sure if this is a serious correction, brake is correct.
Edit: I think I get it?
You absolutely cannot fix stupid.
How could a vehicle that may not disengage the accelerator when the brake is applied be allowed on the road????? And who at Tesla thought this was a perfectly fine feature to have?
Do you know of any vehicles that do automatically disengage the accelerator for you when you press the brakes? It sounds like the driver was pushing both the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Not to defend Tesla, but this one seems like it could be the owner's fault
The original post does not mention if he was applying the brake with the other foot while still depressing the accelerator, but it seems like the accelerator on the CT is monitored by software that then controls the motors. It would explain why it kept the motors going as the brake was used. Of course, if he was using one foot to brake and the other to press the accelerator, this is totally his fault.
Is there any other plausible explanation? I don't understand what you were referring to here:
How could a vehicle that may not disengage the accelerator when the brake is applied be allowed on the road?????
That’s a big reason for the “unintended acceleration” issue that plagued older Toyotas and Audis.
Nah that's been proven as bullshit. In ICE vehicles brakes will always win vs engine torque. Just think; how quickly does your car go from 0-60, and how quickly can it go from 60-0? Brakes are just more powerful than ICE engines in production cars. They have to be to meet braking distance regulations. So, even with the accelerator down and engine going full throttle, brakes should still stop a car.
Now I'm not sure about electric cars, some of them have incredible torque and are designed to use regenerative braking. The disk brakes might just be supplemental and not strong enough.
I mean.
If you delete enough people in the government department meant to check / stop these vehicle safety issues....

If I was the owner I’d be reaching out to my state Attorney General at this point, and providing recordings of all communications with Tesla.
If you were the owner you wouldn't be intelligent enough to think of this.

The breaks may or may not actually stop the car - Tesla
Oh okay. Let's get back to hating on Europe and why they don't want to buy our strong and beautiful cars.
More money than sense if you buy one of these death skips. Comedy fall-apart clown cars.
"Patriot Warrior" XD
I have zero sympathy for anyone who bought a Cybertruck, or any Tesla in the last few years. If you buy a Tesla, you are a Nazi collaborator. Accidents and vandalism are nothing. Look at what happened to Nazi collaborators after the war. That what is what you actually deserve if you buy a Tesla today.
Also, it's just a stupid decision. They're shitty cars.
Lol, get fucked Cybercuck. Zero sympathy for Tesla owners.
The front crumpling shattered the widow?
I heard the frame was made of weaker material to offset the weight of the body (which is utterly ass backwards). This means the shock of the impact will travel through the body instead of into and being absorbed by the frame.
So, in other words, yup, the front crumpling will shatter the windows.
I hope they all break down and work like shit so that none survive long enough for them to become coveted rarities.
I mean, if they're shit enough, there will be a few that just end up parked in a garage for decades after a wealthy owner finds them unusable, that are then even rarer when the rest don't survive
$30k for repairs? what the fuck
Any vehicle with a unibody frame is effectively totaled when it gets bent/crumpled in any way.
That front folded against a wooden railing certainly confirms the bullet proof exoskeleton things. What a pity or met wood.
the emergency brake obviously didn't engage. the front wheel appears to still be fully-attached to the vehicle.
