The car was rolling uphill.
Was it possible that the driver's door was not open, and the driver escaped through the window which could explain why the gear was not automatically shifted into Park.

I believe no input on pedal does regen braking until stopped. And also goes into park when seatbelt unbuckled and weight not detected. So something strange is happening.Was it possible that the driver's door was not open, and the driver escaped through the window which could explain why the gear was not automatically shifted into Park.
I dunno how the safety features work on a Tesla, but I can tell you 100% that the vehicle's position in the photographs was heading uphill.Was it possible that the driver's door was not open, and the driver escaped through the window which could explain why the gear was not automatically shifted into Park.
Some newly EV owners might prefer creep and low regen to simulate ICE rolling behavior.I believe no input on pedal does regen braking until stopped.

There doesn’t seem to be an option for low regen mode on this model. It’s high regen only and will stop when you lift off the accelerator. Still.. with an all-out fire who know what kind of signals the controls systems were getting/giving before they quit completely.Some newly EV owners might prefer creep and low regen to simulate ICE rolling behavior.
I think that's for Autopilot/TACC only and not applicable for manual driving.

No, I live here. I'd walk down and take pics but I'm away on vacation.Is your source that Reddit post where someone claimed to have been an EMT at the scene and they heard from someone there that it was “self driving” up hill? Because I am very skeptical of that account.

How does you living there have anything to do with which way the car was moving after the driver apparently exited? Unless you witnessed it yourself, you living there is totally irrelevant.
Because I've driven/biked/walked/jogged down Rose Lane thousands of times. I live here where rose branches off with another road. Nothing fud or controversial. I see where the car is and which way it is going in the pic. Uphill. If I have some reason to stop home from the shore in the next couple weeks,I'll walk down and take a photo. We also have a Ford and guy with an airplane in his front yard. Very quiet, wealthy neighborhood.How does you living there have anything to do with which way the car was moving after the driver apparently exited?

X2. What did the witness say? It was rolling forward on fire then exploded and stopped?But no one can actually verify the car was moving or the facts alleged. The location and final direction are facing uphill, sure. But Teslas self drive and immolate.
Low Regen was removed as software option about 1.5 years ago (on new cars only), so Tesla could hit a certain fleet EPA mileage rating. Very annoying actually, given Low Regen is useful when some passengers get motion sickness from heavy Regen.Others here have said that they select the low regen mode. Though I haven’t specifically looked as I prefer the defaults.
If people get motion sickness from high regen, blame the driver. Drivers can modulate heavy regen in order to avoid motion sickness. Don’t let their foot totally off the accelerator like they do for gas cars.Low Regen was removed as software option about 1.5 years ago (on new cars only), so Tesla could hit a certain fleet EPA mileage rating.

You are correct that careful pedaling can avoid, but you have to make an effort. My spouse refuses to get a Tesla because she is worried about that.If people get motion sickness from high regen, blame the driver. Drivers can modulate heavy regen in order to avoid motion sickness.

But it is unfortunate they removed the option.
