Toronto Police say four people are dead, and a fifth has serious injuries, following a suspected high-speed crash involving an electric vehicle on Thursday.
High-rate of speed causing the driver to lose control… which sounds awfully familiar with the " sudden unintended acceleration problems" that Tesla has been covering up for years.
True, but do they also have problems with accelerators getting stuck or being triggered for no apparent reason, leading to thousands of crashes?
High rate of speed has nothing to do with acceleration without a known distance.
I agree. Police didn’t really give any other details. I’m just pointing out that Teslas are known to have problems, which result in similar circumstances leading to crashes.
Or just going too fast. A lady near us thought you could just drive 100 around a corner rise because it is a Tesla. Car left the road and took out a lamp post. People just aren’t good drivers sometimes, and over estimate their skills. Lets not assume stuck pedal, until a real report comes out
It might not have been a stuck pedal, but many of these electric cars accelerate much faster than people expect. Which is how normal people end up taking out lamp posts or rolling their vehicle, etc…

Was acceleration the cause? Didn’t look like it to me.

A Ford focus can do a high rate of speed. High rate of speed has nothing to do with acceleration without a known distance.

Hell, they didn’t even give the model Tesla. It looked like a model Y from what I could see in the images.
