According to the police the 2016 Model S went three feet into the wall of the restaurant, causing serious damage to the kitchen. Pictures of the accident emerged on Reddit this morning
Police confirmed there was no injuries and the driver was not under the influence of alcohol when the accident occurred. The restaurant is located just two miles of Tesla's Atascadero Supercharger station on El Camino Real, as one of our readers mentioned.
This is not the first time an accident like this happens. Back in June, a five day old Model X was involved in a serious car crash in Irvine, California. The owner's wife was entering a parking stall when she mistakenly pressed on the acceleration instead of the brake and dived into a building.

Oops. That's my old stomping ground. One of the first supercharger locations is there too - he's my old blog entry on the construction http://porsche914e.blogspot.com/2013/06/atascadero-tesla-supercharger-station.html
