It happened at 7/21/2019, 1pm. the place is a parking lot in front of a store. i was driving my tesla x. before i reached there, i was already in that parking lots for several minutes; the speed was very low, about 3 miles/hour. when i found the store, i wanted to turn left and park next to a car in front of the store. at that time, i loosed the accelerator panel. since my tesla has the default regenerative brake setting, the car speed is almost zero. as usual, i touched a little bit of the accelerator panel to park into the parking space. however, the tesla had a big acceleration during the turn. i realized something was wrong, then elevated my feet and touched nothing at that time. my tesla still forwarded and jumped the curb and hit the concrete garbage bin in front of the store. after tesla crashed the concrete garbage bin, it still has acceleration and moved forward. it scratched a car, which was parking in the next parking space, then moved forward until it hit the wall of store. i'm 100% sure my feet touched nothing before my tesla jumped the curb.
Sudden acceleration pulling into a parking space head first with foot on the break. next thing my wife knew was that she had jumped the curb and hit 2 other cars. her foot was still on the brake. tesla downloaded the black box. tesla told us that the car was traveling at 3 mph and that the accelerator had bee depressed. tesla refused to share the black box print out due to "proprietary information". 3 mph in a parking lot, dry pavement, clear sky, 10:00 am. repair estimate was low by $10,000.
