We bought the new 2026 Tesla Model 3 and picked it up on 5/3/2026. The next date 5/4/2026, I was trying to drive it to work. I got in the car and used the Tesla’s full self-driving function and let it drive the car by itself. It started moving forward and tried to make a u turn. Since there was not enough space for it to make a u turn because there was a car parked on the sidewalk, so it stopped for a moment. But unfortunately, it continued to move forward and hit the car parked on the sidewalk. It supposedly backed up a little after the stop, but it didn’t detect the car parked on the sidewalk and still moved forward and hit the parked car. The Tesla's fsd is malfunctioning and caused my accident because there was such a big car in front and it didn't detect it and still hit it.
