I actually see acceleration near the end. That should have been the point that the chimes start announcing end of EoP. Definitely looks like foot on accelerator to me. After all, it had happily been following for awhile. Not enough curvature to lose the sonar, vision, or road position.
It looked to me like there might have been a slight acceleration and maybe that would mark when OP nodded off. Hard to say what your foot would have done during that time. Very glad to hear that both of you were okay and kudos for taking responsibility and sharing this with us. Glad you weren't rear ended. With your hood flying up I'm not sure how you managed to judge where to pull over to the right out of traffic. Learning from others is why we are all here.
Rewatched the video a few times and the Model 3 seems pretty much centered in the lane throughout and seemed to be verified by the side cameras as well. The Forrester however was not centered at that point but to the right, so as it moved to the right on the curve it caused the centered Tesla to hit it more on the left side than centered on its bumper, which I think would have happened instead if the Forrested stayed centered. BTW I noticed at the very beginning of the clip that the speed limit was 55mph on the off ramp.
BTW did you have music playing?
