"Tesla explained its vehicles continuously record and transmit operational and diagnostic data to the company’s servers. The data from Halcourt’s Model X showed its engine was actually not turned off, and that soon after Halcourt’s toddler entered the SUV through the open back door and crawled into the driver’s seat, he first pressed the brake pedal then shifted the gear selector to Drive.

“Over the next 6 seconds, the vehicle continued to be in Drive gear with the brake pedal pressed until the accelerator pedal was pressed and the brake pedal was released,” Tesla stated. “In the next 4 seconds, while varying manual pressure continued to be applied to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle speed increase was consistent with the pressure applied to the accelerator pedal. Then, the brake pedal was pressed including activation of the Anti-Lock Braking System, the accelerator pedal was released, and the vehicle came to a stop.”

I'm not a Tesla Fanboy or anything but if this is true I don't see how they are at fault.

>> soon after Halcourt’s toddler entered the SUV through the open back door and crawled into the driver’s seat, he first pressed the brake pedal then shifted the gear selector to Drive

How is it even possible for a 2 year old? The whole story is just really hard to believe
