Wow

Oops...

God I hope there was a security camera to catch this.

Are you sure it was a Brake-Accelerator mix-up?

My guess is that it was more likely a Drive-Reverse confusion. (The stalk on the S and X are, IMO, intuitively backwards...it took me a while to get used to it.)

I wonder if creep was on or off.

Well, this couldn’t have happened at a Tesla owned location as they don’t have “dealership” locations

Did the test driver have to buy both? You break, you buy?

If I am not wrong they changed it to you touch it and it is yours not long ago

Wow. The S and X in that showroom are pretty far apart. How it damaged both I have no idea.

Not sure. She was backing (lurching) then claimed to try and hit brake and accelerated backwards into the showroom.

When you are backing an X in the front lot (outside) just outside of the showroom and accelerate through the plate glass window, to the showroom, you end up inside of the showroom with the X colliding into the S which had been sitting in the showroom.

That's 3 more cheap low mileage cars for the CPO programme.
