Tesla says that only the passenger side was opened at first, and the driver side was only opened from the outside. And yet the accident was on the right side of the vehicle, so if either door would have had trouble opening, it would be that one. If Tesla's information is correct--and isn't a sensor malfunction or similar--then my hypothesis would that the driver was not even in the driver's seat. However, we're also told that steering and braking happened before the car came to a stop, so is the idea that the driver climbed over to exit the damaged passenger side rather than the untouched driver side? Possibly while running from the noise? Alternatively, the logs are incorrect. Tesla also says that there was an "abrupt steering action" that preceded hitting the first post, and that the car was not auto-steering at all for the other 11 posts. There's some fuzziness in Tesla's description. The implication is that the driver hit the brakes immediately, but it's only an implication. No timestamps are provided, nor clarifying language beyond the broad implication. I'm generally thinking Tesla's information is probably correct, BUT I'm really, really, really tired of hearing about how two seconds of no-hands is somehow unreasonable, when the car itself allows for much, much longer. If you want to say that someone has to keep a hand on the wheel, have it beep and prepare to disengage after two seconds of no-hands, not 15 minutes. If you allow for 15 minutes, don't be shocked when people use all 15 minutes.
