I have a 2019 Tesla Model 3 with premium wheel upgrade and the continental pro contact RX tires put on by Tesla are clearly defective. The car has 7k some miles on it and the tire blew out randomly. There was no impact/crash of any kind, we were going approx 30 miles per hour on a paved road and heard a large boom. Then almost instantly our tpms indicated extremely low tire pressure pull over now. We had a blow out with these basically brand new tires, no other damage to car so that's it. Could kill someone in the wrong circumstance!.
Autopilot was engaged. The Tesla vehicle sensors failed to recognize 2 parked vehicles on the right side of the street while driving, and collided with them. Anti-collision mechanism and auto-braking failed to apply, resulting in collision.
This incident happened because of sudden acceleration issue in Tesla mode 3 in our parking lot. I was parking between 2 cars on my right. So, was really slow. While turning there was a sudden acceleration and the vehicle was at a high speed. Since, I was turning, the car rotated at the high speed and in the process my car hit car on my left, 3 cars on my front. There was severe damage to my car and a flat tire. Fortunately, no people were affected. When the accident happened, all systems stopped functioning.
