To OP:
(*
deep breath*)
Your wife is mistaken and was pressing the accelerator pedal.
The brakes are mechanical and will always stop the car when the brake pedal is pressed.
The brakes can overpower the motors even if they somehow were at full power when trying to stop.
Repeat: The brakes are mechanical and will always stop the car when the brake pedal is pressed.
If the brakes still worked after the event, then they still would have worked during the event.
The brakes are a mechanical system.
Software can not disable the brakes.
Repeat: Your wife is mistaken and was pressing the accelerator pedal.
Yeah this is bogus. (Pretty sure I've noted this in another thread.)
To put the car in drive, your foot has to be
on the brake.
To enable cruise control, your foot has to be
off the brake.
Saying that if you "put the car in drive twice" it enables cruise control is fundamentally incompatible with reality.
Also, Tesla's don't accelerate on their own. Get over it.
Also, the logs don't lie..
