If it's a twin motor, someone's obviously got caught out by how powerful it is.

On FB (according to daughter 
) there’s a trail of destruction before it ‘mounts’ the final car.
I know it’s comical, but, reading between the lines (dangerous) - new car, massive power
We could, potentially, all be there as age progresses

Maybe the "sport/rocket" setting or whatever it is called could be automatically disabled after a few moments manoeuvring?

"unintended acceleration" was quite a common cause of low speed parking accidents with early Teslas - was even a lawsuit attempted for supposed faulty accelerator pedals. But it was always user error.
There is now a setting in the Tesla software to enable "obstacle aware acceleration" - ie at low speeds it will use the parking assist to limit acceleration and even apply the brakes to stop people yeeting themselves into parked vehicles.

I have a feeling as this is a brand new car, someone has additionally pressed the wrong pedal. This happens a lot when older people switch from manual to automatic. On a powerful EV, this can be catastrophic.dan_b wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 9:19 am "unintended acceleration" was quite a common cause of low speed parking accidents with early Teslas - was even a lawsuit attempted for supposed faulty accelerator pedals.

Indeed - hence the above feature that Tesla added
