And also break failure doesnt explain why there was unintended acceleration. It's definitely operater error. Not sure why anyoen would assume otherwise.

Awesome, they for a lot they cleared the RWD and M3P backlog in Perth. Seems to have been at the cost of the other states. They did not clear the LR queue though and given we clearly got a big % this quarter have to wonder if the LR queue in WA will extend next year

Famous Tesla hardware hacker Jason Hughes recently did a thread on just how many overlapping safety systems there are to prevent this.
He tried to induce acceleration in a Tesla without physically depressing the pedal and kept coming across layer after layer, up to and including the computer blowing the pyrotechnic fuse to disable the high voltage battery, if it thinks there's unintended acceleration.

I want to drive home how impossible "Sudden Unintended Acceleration" is in a Tesla, why any issue with the autopilot/FSD system can't do this, and a few other myths and technical aspects of this whole thing in a thread.🧵 (Which ended up longer than expected.)
nitter.it
And even if the accelerator pedal was somehow jammed (and there was something preventing the brake pedal from being depressed fully) the brake lights would have come on, and the "both pedals pressed" alert would have come up (with corresponding reduction in power)
Unfortunately these "wrong pedal applied" events happen all the time. If it was any other car it wouldn't be international news, and you can guarantee that when the findings come out it won't be reported anywhere except Tesla forums and blogs.
That would be Gold Coast, not Brisbane! I distinctly remember us Brisbane-ites getting somewhat peeved that it was just GC and no Brisbane in that lot
Thanks, was looking for this but forgot who it was
The guy is basically saying, no, unintentional acceleration is basically impossible but hey, keep an open mind
Very rarely to people ever get a Tesla at the very beginning of the original estimated EDD. You picking up on the 24th would be incredibly incredibly lucky and absolute best case scenario
Even if Don Juan arrived on the 18th it takes longer than a few days to go through customs, transported, detailed etc etc
You hv better chance winning a lotto than betting on that
what's you OD btw?
RWD White/White/18" - 9th March.You hv better chance winning a lotto than betting on that
Toyota and Audi both have had 'unexpected acceleration' scandals in the past... and every single time it turned out it was user error. You're more likely to have brake failure than forced acceleration. Experts have also come out showing that it's impossible for spontaneous acceleration.

I have to ask those that ordered white interior.....do you have foolproof easy method of keeping them clean, are you super vigilant at keeping them clean, will you put seat covers on, or do you just roll with whatever marks/stains/dirt/etc. that show up?
I really like the look of white interior but just couldn't do what I imagine is constant cleaning and upkeep, and any marks would drive me insane.
WA backlog being seemingly cleared or close to cleared is great. Hopefully get some east coast news shortly to turn around the mood on the FFS Tesla
I rather wipe it more often than using a seat cover (which will ruin the aesthetic look) try some of these below
It would be nice but I don't hold out hope. If (and that's a big if IMO) we get it within the current EDD, I'm feeling that it will be January (and the end of January at that). There's a lot of Feb and early March orders to get through, and nothing yet for Brisbane (sorry, I had to mention us again
)
