How about someone posting pictures of the Model S pedal setup with a tape measure and then another car with a tape measure to really get a sense of how close they really are.

So far it hasn't been a safety issue, just an annoyance.
The fact that everyone seems to have to modify their foot behavior to not press both pedals at the same time just shows that the pedal placement and spacing are not optimal. I have NEVER had this issue on my Roadster or Lexus.
Not everyone, just the handful reporting here. I've not experienced what you guys are talking about once...in fact I guess I'll need to go try to intentionally reproduce it b/c I don't understand what the actual issue/concern is. I find the position to be very natural, comfortable and intuitive, I wear size 11 shoes.
Sorry, but this may have more to do with each driver's "klutz" factor than the car. I've test driven twice and nothing suggested that this was an issue.

Is this simply not maybe learning a new behavior (muscle memory) like when you move to any new car and not a major problem with pedal placement? I'm not doubting anyone that this is an issue for some people but I personally haven't run across it yet. Maybe the way I've been driving all this time just happens to align with their pedal position.
I don't. I have yet to have this problem surface in my first month with Model S.The fact that everyone seems to have to modify their foot behavior to not press both pedals at the same time just shows that the pedal placement and spacing are not optimal. I have NEVER had this issue on my Roadster or Lexus.

How does the guy do the burnout in the Video thread without having his foot on the brake and the throttle?
