This has been a recurring theme for years. In the moments before stopping, Tesla seems to suddenly accelerate instead.

Derry Township Police say they responded around 11:25 a.m. for the crash. Police say the 2026 Tesla was parked or in the process of parking near a grass median when the “vehicle suddenly jumped the curb, making an immediate right turn, and traveled down the grass median towards the row of stores.” The Tesla struck a small tree, three parked vehicles, and a sign before entering the travel lane in front of the stores. With the vehicle heading toward the Oakley store, police say the driver “jerked the steering wheel,” causing it to crash into the pillar outside Victoria’s Secret.

And this month, many Tesla have been crashing into a lot of buildings, as if their cameras can’t see. This is the fifth I’ve read about.
