Pete Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 New York (CNN Business)More than 100 Teslas have been involved in accidents because they accelerated unintentionally, according to a complaint filed with federal safety regulators. The complaint, filed on December 19 but posted Friday, says the problem happened to 127 different cars across all three Tesla models currently for sale: the Model S, Model X and the Model 3. The unintended acceleration problem caused 110 accidents, and 52 people were injured as a result, according to the complaint. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/17/business/tesla-unintended-acceleration/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
