Oops! Tesla trouble as owner misses the brake

Time 8:31 am, July 15, 2014

500_o16128WE’VE all heard the stats that say a new car loses a big slice of its value as soon as it leaves a dealership.

Well, here’s one whose value plummetted while still on the premises!

This Tesla Model S, just collected by its owner from a dealership in Fremont, California, didn’t even make it off the forecourt before there was a fairly major mishap.


It’s thought the driver accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. Oops!
