I guess my last point is if your wife or daughter was driving during an emergency condition, you all have instructed them on what they should do to avoid a catastrophe. If not, I guess this subject isn't really important to YOU.

I guess your misunderstanding the point. How long does it take for the Tesla if at wide open throttle to get 100MPH. I guess what I'm trying to say is you must be prepared for a response to the emergency quickly. I think I'm wasting my time here, everyone is convinced an emergency wont happen in...

I thought you had a real Tesla

Thanks for those courteous enough to reply with answers and not the BS its never happened and probably wont. Randy

I love Tesla but being unprepared for an emergency could cost you. Having the knowledge of a few emergency responses in just a few seconds is what I'm looking for. I'm not suggesting this would ever happen. Be prepared, safety first.

Going into neutral still seems to be the most controllable method. My concern is many have the answers but have they put them to the test at 100MPH? Not really a test anyone should try. Tesla's are very fast and that's just a few seconds. My concern is If that didn't work it would be a little...

What if it was hacked? By the way just

I would hope everyone would try the brakes first but what if it didn't stop accelerating. The brakes would be short lived. Just looking to help everyone know what to do in that case. I mentioned neutral and that appears to be the best answer so far.

I was looking for more friendly replies and I didn't see your suggestion, did I miss it? Some conditions wouldn't need the emergency brake applied which could cause a wreck. Looking to help other owners be more aware of what to do in an emergency situation. Do you think everyone that has bought...

My sons has a Tesla S and I ask him if something happened that the car took a mind of its own went to accelerating and wouldn't stop, how do you shut it off to avoid a collision? He wasn't sure. We worked together and found one thing he could do is put it in neutral. There is no way to our...
