In December 2016 the car accelerated spontaneously while I was in my driveway. Tesla maintained I pushed on the excelerator instead of the brake going from 2 to 92 miles an hour in just a few seconds. The car was repaired and on January 12,2020 the car once again self accelerated. Both times substantial damage was done to the front of the car and to my home. I was not injured however a passenger was in the car in 2016 and maintained she had hip injuries as a result. The insurance company did settle with her. Both accidents were not the result of my inadvertently depressing the excelerator. There definitely is a substantial danger to the public. The car is currently at raintree auto body in scottsdale arizona. I have not called Tesla az yet as I do not particularly want them to get the black box. I do have a photo of the car impacting the courtyard wall of my house however it is on my iphone and I do not know how to send it to you.
