Wild footage captured the moment an out-of-control Tesla hit vehicles in a busy shopping centre carpark, before plummeting off the side and injuring its two occupants.

A drivers dash cam showed a black Tesla T-bone an SUV, causing it to spin on the rooftop carpark at DFO Homebush, in Sydneys west, at about 9.55am on Saturday.

The vehicle kept driving and struck the car with the dash cam.

A loud crash was heard from the Tesla as it went over the edge of the carpark to the level below.

The Tesla is understood to have been on autopilot, however NSW Police could not confirm when contacted by Daily Mail Australia. 

Fortunately, the out-of-control vehicle landed on its wheels in the loading dock after it crashed through the barrier above.

The occupants of the Tesla, which had struck three cars in total, were a 59-year-old male driver and his passenger, a 68-year-old female.

Shoppers ran to help the trapped pair, with people scrambling to open the door of the Tesla.
