Neighbor pulls driver from burning Tesla in Corpus Christi

Officials with the Corpus Christi Police Department said the crash happened around 3:30 a.m. The woman driving the Tesla lost control of her speed and was unable to stay in her lane, while heading toward Ocean Drive, causing the vehicle to erupt in flames. She was cited at the scene and was not injured, police said.

A little more detail on the accident I posted yesterday. Seems the Tesla suffered Sudden Unintended Acceleration and it veered off course. No explanation as to why and police cited her for losing control? When a Tesla glitches, no one can stop its acceleration nor stop it from veering if it does so (you get locked out).

Whats even odder about this incident is there is no mention of the Tesla striking anything as it accelerated and veered off course. I think its safe to assume the Tesla drove over a curb to land in someones yard but that shouldnt cause the Tesla to combust. So why did this Tesla suddenly catch on fire? My theory is this Tesla was already suffering thermal runaway inside the battery pack that led to the eventual fire. When thermal runaway happens sudden surges in electrical lines can occur which could have causes the uncontrolled acceleration and veering off course.

bullish indication is meant to be ironic

=======================================

I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.
