I would bet heavily on driver error. But perhaps the more important issue... what information does Tesla record and how long does it keep it??
They monitored Broder's entire trip, and I remember Elon saying something about only journalist cars are tracked like that. Hmm...
Other than the mechanical floor mat issue, I still believe all of Toyota's woes were due to human error, and I'd er in that direction here as well.

I'm no engineer... But how is it with these "unintended acceleration " mishaps that the cars stops accelerating?
I mean it seems there would be tires spinning wildly until the vehicle was damaged to inoperable or the victim gathered enough fortitude to stop the car in some way. Which, in a panic situation, one would presume would take some time with tires smoking.
No mention that the S continued once the wall was hit and the driver woke up.
I have hit the CC a couple of times intending to use my turn signal while slowing w/ regen and then the car 'unintendedly accelerates' for the split second I don't have my foot on the brake.
Not any different than CC in a gas car besides the gas car CC's suck at keeping a set speed!
You'd be surprised how many people hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal.
I remember that too.That's exactly what this lady did. It's happens all the time.
I remember that too.
The complaint says that the brake was pressed the whole time, but doesn't the Model S have brake override? So if you press both pedals, the brake takes over (please correct if this is incorrect)?
I had an incident in our Camry Hybrid with the floor mat jamming under the acceleration (before all the news reports/recalls)
Scared the crap out of me, but at least I figured it out before things got totally out of control. I'm sure many of the reports were caused by mats, but the mat came free during the panic on it own, so it was not obvious.
