    We contacted wk but given that he's on the east coast, he was unable to help directly and as you said, the window has passed. Tesla of course has the logs so there is always a copy if need be and if we are willing to subpoena them. At this point, the sensible thing is to use a datalogger...

    The car has creep enabled. I can think of scenarios with and without creep that could lead to having the foot over the accelerator pedal when parking.

    husband of OP here with a couple updates and points: - Tesla provided us with a written report of the sequence of events as far as they can reconstruct. - Tesla responded to a few follow up questions we had just today (hence the update). - Tesla will not provide datalogs. To quote, "[...] we...

    Good afternoon, I am replying for my wife so you may get a bit of different perspective. There are actually 2 other Teslas in my family with another on order. I have been following Tesla since 2005. My background is in mechanical engineering. Status update: 1. The damage to the car is...

    The creep mode was on. And I only use one foot driving. Thank you for all the valuable input. This case has been putting through legal process.

    I am definitely going to do so. Thank you for the tip.

    You have pointed out a blatant fact- there are multiple cases hanging there not only during parking, it happened when making turns as well. Whenever you car slows down, the SUA might happen.

    I agree, engineering resource is precious and we are fighting with odds. Does anyone see this paragraph in owners manual and please correct me if I was wrong- if I have to go by my insurance to repair the car, Tesla will have to give me the log. After receiving the log, I will certainly seek a...

    I appreciate the offer and I will certainly do so after Tesla gives me their log. SO there is a point to map it. The electricity footprint is a result of design failure or defect. I am not saying there is one, but we have to review before we make any conclusion. At this point, Tesla rejected...

    @bonnie, I am flattered to have you looking through all the feedbacks in this thread and manage the direction where it should go. We all will respect to disagree.

    Yes I was very lucky the car was very slow and the SUA happened only 7 feets to the stucco'd/ concrete wall. There is fluid in greenish leaking all the way. I will certainly have everything checked out and the car is currently in Tesla authorized shop over in Fremont. Still hoping Tesla can...

    Making sure the floor mat was not in the way. My purpose to reach out to Tesla is make sure they aware of and acknowledge the issue before any fatal issue.

    No worries. Do you know if there is any way to get a closer look on the datalog? That is my main purpose here - looking for guidance for investigation?

    Similar from a control standpoint to the electronic throttle motor on a gasoline engine. However, it draws an electric current of over 1000amp instead of only 10amp or less. Making it much more powerful.
