## Narrative
Incident Report – 2026 Tesla Model Y  Date of Incident:XXX Time of Incident: 12:30 am Location: [XXX]   I was operating my 2026 Tesla Model Y and was driving manually. Full Self-Driving (FSD), Autosteer, and other self-driving functions were not engaged at the time of the incident.  While traveling on Highway 16 at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle approached the right-side white lane line. At that point, I experienced a sudden steering intervention that turned the vehicle sharply to the left. The steering input was unexpected and occurred while I was manually controlling the vehicle.  Following the steering intervention, the vehicle crossed the centerline into the opposing lane of travel and continued off the roadway into the ditch on the opposite side of the road. The incident resulted in damage to the vehicle.  Road conditions were dry. Weather conditions were safe. Lane markings were clear.  I am requesting that Tesla preserve and review all vehicle telemetry, event logs, steering-assistance records, and any other relevant data associated with this incident. Specifically, I request an investigation into whether Lane Departure Avoidance, Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance, or any other driver-assistance feature activated and contributed to the steering maneuver.  I am also requesting a determination regarding responsibility for the resulting vehicle damage and whether Tesla will reimburse repair costs if a system malfunction or defect is identified.
