[Tesla thru the roof]

ERD data only proves driver negligence & it also debunks your 100% wrong theory.
Do you have any proof, stats,or facts? No you don’t. You do have a have unconfirmed, inaccurate assumption based on nothing but data that has already debunked by regulatory committees.

Tesla, Musk Blast ' Conspiracy Theorists ' calling them qua' non supporters and flat earth's. A wave of conspiracy theories are being blasted on various chat forums propagating lies pertaining to Tesla. Elon Musk in a recent tweet said to avoid these small minded people and focus on the larger picture of what Tesla will look like in coming years. What all of these conspiracy theories have in common is that they have no evidence, proof, or scientific data to support any of there claims. Just fabricated stories, lies and fake science to try and evoke a negative sentiment towards Tesla in a massive failed attempt that has cost shorts and many hedge funds to go bankrupt !

Your EDR data is irrelevant. All that matters is the findings of NASA / NTSB / NHTSA that provide a reliable, transparent, and unbiased assessment. No such thing as SUA in Tesla or Toyota as a result of a Electronic cause.



The Department of Transportation reported in 2011 that the only causes for SUA were pedal misapplication and wrong mats. Most complaints came after the Toyota recall. ... Nearly 400 wrongful-death and personal injury cases were also privately settled by Toyota as a result of unintended acceleration.

NASA just released its highly anticipated report about the Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA) charge in Toyota vehicles. The verdict is in. And Toyota’s electronic throttle control system is fully exonerated.

The ten-month study by 30 NASA engineers found “no evidence that a malfunction in electronics caused large unintended accelerations,” according to Michael Kirsch, principal engineer and team leader of the study. This means that that the reports of SUA were caused by “pedal misapplication,” otherwise known as driver error.

The preliminary findings are based on a review of 1000s of event data recorders — which capture information such as velocity, braking and acceleration — from vehicles that were in accidents blamed on unintended acceleration. In a majority of the cases, data showed that brakes were not applied before impact.

Transportation Department officials said the data did not point to other causes of the phenomenon other than sticking pedals or floor mat entrapment, which Toyota has acknowledged as real problems, leading it to issue millions of recall notices in the last year

NHTSA determines sudden acceleration complaints in Tesla vehicles were due to driver error


The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has determined the reports of sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) involving four different Tesla models were due to user error.

The NHTSA first began investigating the claims last January, shortly after Brian Sparks requested the agency recall all Model S, Model X and Model 3 vehicles made during or after 2013. In its review, the NHTSA analyzed the 232 SUA complaints Sparks provided to the agency, as well as 14 other complaints and all available crash data.

The NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation has now determined that all of the crashes involving SUA that Sparks cited were caused by the driver. Therefore, the NHTSA is denying Sparks’ petition to formally review 662,109 vehicles and potentially recall them.

“There is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents,” the report states. “There is no evidence of a design factor contributing to increased likelihood of pedal misapplication. The theory provided of a potential electronic cause of SUA in the subject vehicles is based upon inaccurate assumptions about system design and log data.”
