I do tend to agree with your legal interpretation. I am not naive enough to think that somehow Tesla will admit their may have been an issue. Their liability is enormous to admit to even one case. If I hit the accelerator a little, I would have been stopped by the cement parking block and curb. It was full on ludicrous launch. Does anyone think it is likely that I was jamming the brakes while parking?
I don’t think you were jamming on the brakes while parking. I really think your situation was the same as mine. Pulling lowly into the parking space on with foot mistakenly over accelerator. I lightly pressed on the pedal to stop the car. However, since it was the accelerator the car lurched forward. Thinking I was pressing the brake I pushed harder which caused full acceleration. I hit and bounced over the concrete parking barrier and ended up in a ditch beyond the parking barrier. At the time I swore up and down that it my foot was on the brake, but in reality it was over the accelerator. If they ever provide the log information to you, I think you will find the same thing. For me it was a $4000 lesson, but now I am absolutely sure of my foot position every time I park.
