The Tesla owner found himself in the middle of a 100 100,000,000 fight for property after a Model 3 performance crashed and Valet was pulled out of the parking garage. Despite being on the right side and having evidence to support his claims, the Tesla owner ended up fighting on a hill that lasted a while.
From routine to horror
It was supposed to be a regular process. After parking his Model 3 at a multi-story garage, the Tesla owner asked him to return his vehicle. A wallet then proceeded to retrieve the Model 3 from its parking lot. A parking garage employee showed Valet’s Teslac video driving while driving a little faster in such a congested area that everything seemed normal.
A few moments later, the Tesla owner was surprised as part of the second floor walls of the parking garage collapsed into the sidewalk below. Images taken by the owner of the electric car after the incident revealed that a vehicle was partially pushed through the brick walls of the parking garage. Terrified, the Tesla driver ran to check the wallet and its Model 3.
What he saw confirmed his fears. The wreckage of the two vehicles was his blue Tesla Model 3 performance, the front part of which was crushed as it collided with another parked car.
Unintentionally “op topilot” acceleration
As Valet stopped by the Model 3, he immediately claimed that Tesla suddenly got engaged to the Aut Topilot and plunged himself into other vehicles. Valet was not joking.
While inexperienced people with Tesla’s technology may find it easy to blame the op topilot to avoid liability when something terrible happens, those familiar with the driver assistance system know that the aut topilot isn’t engaged in many places. One of these, of course, is a multi-story parking garage. When the owner of the Model 3 knew something was wrong, Valet told him that the “op topilot” suddenly took Tesla to other vehicles.
The parking garage company claimed innocence, saying the incident was caused by “uncontrolled acceleration” on part of the Model 3. The company refused to budget, and the Tesla owner decided to fight all the way. Being aware of how Tesla stores data on its vehicles, the owner of the Model 3 has decided to gather enough evidence that there is no way his insurance company could lose the case.
Hunt for evidence
In cases like this, in which a party claims unintentional acceleration by an “op topilot”, it is always best to keep Tesla’s Event Data Recorder (EDR) report. The EDR is like a car’s black box, recording everything that happened in the vehicle. From the weight of the driver to the speed of the vehicles, which pedals were pressed, and how much they are pressed, everything can be determined in the EDR report. The Model 3 owner then approached Tesla for help retrieving his car’s records.
For his expertise, Tesla declined, citing legal reasons, as he lives outside of California. In a statement to the YouTube channel Wham balm TeslakamThe Model 3 owner commented that he was not really sure why Tesla had denied his request, although he thinks that if it had been his lawyer who would have approached the electric car manufacturer, the results would have been different. Disappointed but not disappointed, the owner of the Model 3 hired an EDR technician to retrieve his Tesla report. Its cost behind the move is 1,300.
The EDR report was noisy. A look at the data from the Model Dell 3 showed that Valet did not even wear a seatbelt while operating the Tesla. The vehicle was also moving at a reasonable speed to get the car out of the multi-story parking garage. But more importantly, the EDR showed that all the way to the crash, Valet applied 100% pressure on the accelerator and 0% pressure on the brake pedal. With this data, the Model 3 owner figured out that he could finally prove that the parking garage’s unwanted acceleration claim was untrue.
Evidence denied
But despite a mountain of evidence provided by the EDR report, the parking garage company decided to stand their ground by digging their heels in the sand due to their precautionary speed claims. The Model 3 owner’s insurance company has paid a number of claims for damages as a result of this incident and has promised to compensate it once the lawsuit is completed. But that process will take some time.
The incident resulted in a 3 24,000 repair for the Model 3 display. Adding to the damage to other vehicles involved in the incident and its actual damage to the multi-story building itself, the total cost of property damage from the crash is estimated at more than $ 100,000.
Finally, the Tesla owner’s experience with the parking garage highlights two significant things. One, parking garages and wallets should know that it’s hard to lie about what Tesla does because EDR’s data will definitely show the truth. And secondly, there is a lot of room for improvement in Tesla’s service, so owners who approach the company for help after such a harrowing, exciting event. The EDR request, especially one by the owner involved in the accident, is better, without approval.
