    There is always lots of reports on TV where people accidently drive into people house and shops because they accidently press the accelerator instead of the brake.
    Obviously in America where there are lots of Tesla's this will happen also.

    And of course the Hilux is known as the Rolex because of its ability to rollover easy in certain road and terrain conditions.

    Tesla said on Monday there was no unintended acceleration in its vehicles, as it responded to a petition to a U.S. safety regulator to investigate and recall around 500,000 of the company's electric cars over the alleged defect.

    On Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it would review the petition and released a redacted version that said, "Tesla vehicles experience unintended acceleration at rates far exceeding other cars on the roads."

    The petition urged the agency to recall all Tesla vehicles, the Model S, Model X and Model 3, produced beginning in 2013. It cited media reports of crashes attributed to unintended acceleration and complaints filed with NHTSA. The agency said the petition cites "127 consumer complaints to NHTSA involving 123 unique vehicles. The reports include 110 crashes and 52 injuries."

    Tesla said the petition was "completely false" and was brought forward by a short-seller.

    Mind you in 2010 Toyota had a similar issue and recalled 2.3 million vehicles.
