I was driving in a toll road to the left of the freeway lane which was backed up. I was driving approximately 70 MPH, had cruise control activated on a straight stretch of road when the car suddenly braked really hard (reduced speed instantly to about 55 MPH). There was an SUV behind me driving kind of close but thankfully it was paying attention and had to make a hard swerve out of my lane to avoid a rear end collision

At a drive thru fast food tapped the peddle and the car launched and hit a truck in front of me
From the moment I drove my brand new tesla off the lot - the screen - the only way to control anything about the vehicle - would freeze; black out; and take several minutes to reset itself. While in this completely inoperative state: the audio system would emit a high pitch noise; any ability to tell speed; turning signal status; anything was completely impaired; the climate control blasts on high fan a torrent of cold air. At 2000 miles; this has happened several hundred times - on average once every 10 miles driven; though sometimes twice within a few moments (boots up only to reset again) and sometimes it can go as far as 30 minutes without freeze; black; reset. This is easily the most expensive car I've ever purchased; and had nearly 0 miles upon pickup - it is easily the most frustrating experience I've had with a car. To not be in control or have any visibility to the machine driving at highway speeds when everything goes completely black and the computer takes minutes to reset. The repair facility has estimated $2400 which they're attempting to charge me.
I bought a tesla model 3 on 9/19/20. On 9/23/20 I was waiting in my car in a line of cars at a fast food delivery window, stopped 8-10 ft behind a large vehicle with my foot on the brake as well as in the park mode because of the slow service ahead. After a while I realized that my tesla had started moving slowly towards the vehicle in front. Pumping the brake, trying to change the gear to reverse did not stop the car. The screen data disappeared and a message flashed saying that all safety features were off. I opened the door which is supposed to stop the car. It did not even after I got out of it. It continued to move even after contact was made with the car in front. The tesla was completely crushed. It was a total loss according to a repair shop where it was towed on tesla's recommendation. When I contacted tesla they informed me that my accelerator was fully deployed. Not true. I bought the tesla because of all the safety features, none of which seemed to work including failure to notice a large vehicle in front, not stopping when the door was opened, starting by itself in the park mode, and the data screen going blank except for the message about safety systems being off.
