    What I mean is that these types of accident happen all the time in all kinds of vehicles.

    That this particular driver was in a volkswagon swasticar is irrelevant.

      I don’t think it is irrelevant though. in a car that can and does control your throttle without your input, and is famously poorly built with tons of software issues, built by a company whose head is a famous conman, you can’t assume that this is driver error, even if it is a semi-common driver error.

        I can believe that Tesla is lying.

        I can also believe that the driver just stomped the wrong pedal.

        I can even believe then at the same time.

        There is enough wrong with Tesla and its owner to talk about without speculation.
