For most cases (all cars) inspectors and manufacturers have blamed user error - thinking you’re pressing the break but are on the wrong pedal so you press harder. That’s muscle memory, we can understand that happening
Tesla has logging to tell what was being pressed and how, so a malfunction would also have to mislead that sensor Seems unlikely
What Tesla (BEV) has uniquely over other (ICE) cars is ungodly amounts of torque. When I tried seeing a little of what my car can do, in relatively safe conditions … even being prepared for it, I was pressed back in my seat so far that it was tough to hold on.
My speculation is user error, combined with a car that has way more power than most of us are used to. You could end up doing the same in a Ferrari, if you had a lot more money
