JACKSON — A California man mistook the gas pedal for the brake in a Tesla he was renting and crashed into the J-Town Deli & Country Store just before 1 p.m. Thursday. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident but a stairway to a second-floor apartment at the property was severely damaged and needs to be replaced.
Jackson Officer Marty Bourque said, Laurence Eastman, 73, from Fullerton, Calif., the driver of the Tesla, and his wife, Feri, 71, were not injured.
And then you have a complete non sequitur at the end about Jackson having a fireworks show and the shop owner's daughter opening an ice cream stand? I'm sorry, but this article is meandering, pointless, and just terribly-written.
Why does it matter that it was a Tesla? I might understand the specification if it were a $250,000 Lamborghini supercar or something, but it was a Tesla. It wasn't even self-driving at the time. Lloyd, you point out several times throughout your article that the guy driving it pressed the wrong pedal. Would you have specified the make if it were a Honda or a Toyota? What an odd thing for this writer to be fixated on.
