‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing

In June 2023, Rita Meier, a 45-year-old German woman, recounted the terrifying incident when her husband, Stefan, took their Tesla Model S on a long-distance trip and never returned. Stefan had hesitated between taking the Tesla or his wife's BMW, but ultimately decided to try the Tesla, even though he had never driven it that far before. Rita had a bad feeling about it, but stayed home with their three children, the youngest being less than a year old. The article raises questions about the safety of Tesla vehicles, as a series of shocking incidents, from drivers trapped in burning vehicles to dramatic stops on the highway, have led to concerns about the brand. However, Tesla has not provided any answers to these safety issues. The article suggests that Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is obsessive about the design of his supercars, but the company's reluctance to address these safety concerns has left many customers and the public uneasy.
