My tesla frequently claims I am pressing the accelerator on startup while I'm 100% pressing the brake. I've even looked down and checked. Nope, thats the brake all right.
If you can prove that, that is a multi billion dollar class action recall.
my tesla bricked itself once, all the error sensors going off at once. I had it towed to tesla for repairs and they claimed they couldnt find anything wrong with it. I pressed them on that saying I knew it had a unix computer in it and had they checked the log with the times I gave them and then they found a bunch of things wrong. Their repair centers are evidently as incompetent and grifty as the rest of Musk's companies.
Aren’t they the same thing
No, its got a brake and an accelerator pedal just like other cars. You can set it such that if you take your foot off the accelerator it automatically starts braking a little until it stops.
