I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out.
My car ran me over. Was this supposed to happen?
2022 Tesla model Y
Friday night I went out to eat. Left the restaurant and the waitress came out to hand me my Togo box I had left inside. I push down on the brake pedal to lock the car in place. Brake lights in place, car is at a full park, door opens. (isnt the Tesla supposed to go into auto park here?)
As one or two feet are out of the vehicle the car starts reversing. I freak out as the car door is pushing the waitress and I throw my leg inside to hit the brake. I accidently overreact and have hit the gas. I guess I am in limbo here, partially in and partially out of the car with no seat belt on.
The car reverses, knocks the waitress over, and since I am not in the car, it knocks me over and the driver side wheel/tire run over my entire lower body. The car ends up stopping about 20 feet away or so. It proceeded to drive for 1-2 more seconds with no driver in the seat.
Obviously I was on the ground and could not move. Pants were ripped wide open along with my underwear and I had bruises, was bleeding and scratches all over my lower body.
Was taken to the hospital, no broken bones incredibly. Now I’m home in a lot of pain and just wondering what the hell happened here.
Isn’t a Tesla supposed to stop if no driver is in the seat? I for sure hit the brake and pushed it down to lock the car in place. Why did my car not go into park when I opened the door at 0 mph with no seat belt on? Why did the car continue to drive with no one in the driver seat?
