    Power Delay [acceleration delay when pushing accelerator]

    I have the same problem with my Model 3. When it happens, there are no obstacles. Were you able to confirm either way?

    Phantom text messages

    This started happening to me also but with made up text messages from people in my contact list. I am very concerned that my car is being hacked. Does anyone else suspect a hacking issue?

    Will car speed up when not on autopilot to avoid being rear ended?

    Come to think of it, in my last "dry" incident the parking space had a raised manhole cover in the middle of it and the pavement was undulating. So, maybe there's something to the rough pavement idea. Still don't get why wheels would lose traction though, especially at such low speeds.

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    Just wanted to update everyone on this issue. I contacted Tesla hoping their virtual team would look at the logs. They instead asked me to arrange a service call (two weeks later). The day before the service person was supposed to show up, they cancelled it and said it's an issue for the virtual...

    Will car speed up when not on autopilot to avoid being rear ended?

    This has happened to me three times. Once under slick conditions and twice under dry conditions, always while parking. Not sure I buy the regen idea but will try to replicate it based on your theory above.

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    Good suggestion. I turned off creep to see if it changes my behavior in case I did make a mistake with the pedals.

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    At these speeds regen does not work so I can initially just coast into the parking space. So the acceleration happened while my foot was neither on the brake or the gas pedal. Like I said earlier, I have used this method to park in my garage hundreds of times and never been fooled by the...

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    I do use creep mode and the acceleration that I experienced was extreme and sudden, not something that I would expect if the output power was limited. I mean this thing absolutely bolted toward those garbage cans. Because I use creep, my foot was neither on the brake or the accelerator pedal...

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    In my case I was 3 feet from the obstacles, going VERY slowly with no need to brake suddenly when the car lurched forward. At such a low speed the car should have stopped in front of the obstacles because of the low speed collision avoidance and obstacle aware acceleration settings.

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    I sent in a bug report and called Tesla right after my incident last Sunday. They asked me to call back on Monday when the team that looks at the logs can do a deeper dive. I did that but then they said to make a service appointment instead. So now, I have one set for Sep 10. Will let you know...

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    I've had the same thing happen twice now. Both times when pulling into a parking space. There first time I attributed it to driver error but the second time I had just finished pulling into a parking space and suddenly it took off like a shot. Luckily I only hit a couple of garbage cans and the...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    I had the same problem so I set it to 100 feet and it works great.

    Summons feature flaw

    I had a similar experience, though not as dramatic. I summoned my car when leaving work so I could get into it more easily. I kept the reverse button pressed and everything was going great. When I released the button, the car kept going. I would say it traveled another 6 feet. My theory on this...
