A Tesla Model Y owner is seeking $10.35 million in damages after a test drive of the vehicle's "Insane" mode allegedly resulted in a crash, leaving the driver with severe injuries. According to the lawsuit, the driver was involved in a high-speed crash while test-driving the vehicle, which was later revealed to have been set to its "Insane" mode, a setting that enables the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3 seconds. The lawsuit accuses the company of negligence, claiming that the vehicle was not properly secured or explained to the driver before the test drive, and that the "Insane" mode was not suitable for a test drive setting. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and handling of Tesla's high-performance vehicles.
