Implausible AEB. Seems fairly clearly OP did. Tiny fawn wouldn't be detected (especially since it fell and rolled over).
If you listen carefully you'll hear me say "I think that's the hardest I've eve hit my brakes." It did engage the anti-lock which you can hear. The sound is not the car hitting the deer, it is the anti-lock modulating the brake pressure.

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
This is one of the fears I have with the Tesla in deer country. I don't think Bambi heard you coming and when you were right on top of it you scared it enough for it to try to run off.
In my area (heavily deer populated) they rarely bolt when the Tesla approaches and often just stare at it until you are right on top of them.

I'm not sure engine noise makes all that much difference. Years ago, as I was driving my (very noisy) diesel car through a neighborhood at night with headlights on, a fawn darted in front of my car and I had to slam on my brakes. Even so, I nipped the creature enough to crack the plastic lens on the driver's side turn signal. It was unfazed and bounded off down the street apparently unharmed.
