A Tesla rep allegedly told the owner, "the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed."

Another unintended acceleration issue. Fortunately, no one was injured but the Cybertruck still crashed into a house.

This happened in a rich-enough area that it was filmed by someone’s doorbell camera. There’s apparently 50-foot long line of skidmarks.

    I don’t disagree with you. There should be a level of inspection possible by an owner on the functions and processes running, especially if they will be held liable for any outcomes from operating failures that cannot be attributed to the driver.

    In other words, if my insurance covers an accident but I can be sued in civil court for additional damages then I should be able to update/fix/review everything in it given that all liability is transferred to me upon sale. If I cannot answer to something because it’s deemed “proprietary” and “property” of the manufacturer, then they should not be allowed to transfer that liability to me.

      Transferring liability for Tesla Involved Accidents back to Tesla sounds like an absolutely fantastic idea. They should definitely be on the hook for stuff like this, if they aren’t already.
