Brake Malfunction; hit light pole

[agordon117]

Well this would be a really big deal. We have no actual evidence one way or the other (hearing a truck skidding doesn't say anything about the input). But everyone has been parroting for 4 months now that touching the brakes at all cuts power to the accelerator. If that's not true, then a stuck pedal could cause a much bigger problem than everyone has been saying.

He also claims “steering unresponsive” and yet the truck clearly acts around the corner at the limits of his grip. More likely he was trying to steer his way around the upcoming house but had already exceeded max grip with full lock, brakes, and regen all applying force to the t

This is absolutely true. If you're skidding, you have no traction left to turn.

You can hear the skidding in the video, unfortunately it's too far away to see much.

I have lesser brake resistance when I hit brakes. I feel that can be a cause.

Well it's a report of an actual event even if reported with bias.

Update for everyone:

I still don’t have my CT back….. they sent in parts but they sent mismanufactured parts!!!! This is ridiculous!

“All hands on deck” when “Chris” doesn’t even know where my vehicle was…. How incompetent. The negligence of Tesla is outrageous , my trust in this company has dwindled to 0, my health has deteriorated from the accident I had gotten a concussion and was out of commission for months.

Here is the timeline of Tesla and their communication

they need to take responsibility

now all of a sudden they were able to get the part out the next day, all of this is suspicious , the customer service has been horrendous. Seems like it’s finally finished… How is everyone else coming along
