Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2020 Tesla Model 3

I was parking at a trader joe's when the car suddenly accelerated by itself without giving me any chance to break to avoid colliding with the curb. My car got scratched underneath.

I made a right hand turn from a full stop out of the parking lot into the farthest left lane intending to turn left. There were a line of cars ahead of me. As I was turning into the lane and let my foot of the accelerator pedal the car accelerated rapidly into the back of the vehicle ahead of me. It happened very quickly. It felt as though the vehicle took over on it's own. The car hit the vehicle once and then continued moving and it the vehicle again - so twice in all.

First of all, I was pulling the Tesla out of our garage. I was completely out maneuvering the car to make it parallel to the right side of the street when suddenly, I felt the car moved extra backward. Fortunately, it did not hit the neighbors' parked cars. The move startled me. And surprised my husband and son who are passengers at that time. My husband blurted, "what are you doing?". I replied, "I'm driving, I did not do anything extra to make that move. I wondered and also asked, "how did that happen?" and my husband said "I don't know you're the one driving, be careful. " my response was, "I am being careful!". My husband thought I pressed the accelerator hard but I know I did not. The conversation almost lead to an argument but we somehow diffused the topic. I don't want to argue and ruin the mood because we were on our way to our son's soccer game that morning. To make the story short. I continued driving until we reached our destination. I chose to park on the right side of the parking lot. As I was slowly pulling the car in, I felt the car suddenly accelerated. At the blink of an eye, our car hit another car parked in front of us and the car next to it. I felt that the car controlled my move before I could even react. For 20 years of driving, I have never hit an accelerator by mistake or caused any collision. I have driven this vehicle a couple of times before this incident happened and I drove and parked it the way I did previously. The unintended acceleration was something new that day. I am deeply concerned with the safety of this vehicle for my family and others.
