A man in Israel claims that his Tesla saved his life while militants entered his settlement bordering Gaza. After being attacked, he managed to drive his Tesla Model 3 Performance to the hospital gates though the car took over 100 bullets. The man praised the car s acceleration and dual-drive system for keeping him on the road.
The lawsuit, filed in a California state court, alleges the Autopilot system caused owner Micah Lee s Model 3 to suddenly veer off a highway east of Los Angeles at 65 miles per hour (105 kph), strike a palm tree and burst into flames, all in the span of seconds.
Tesla missed market estimates for third-quarter deliveries on Monday as the automaker was forced to curb production due to planned factory shutdowns, sending its shares down 3.7% in trading before the bell.
