Ahh that makes sense. The delta of regen to no regen is probably what those experiences were.
FUD always seems to be strong going into earnings.
Is the 1-2 week prior to earnings a window of opportunity for fudsters, because there is some practice in place where companies don't communicate to the press just prior to earnings?

While I've learned to never be completely dismissive of something, no matter how unlikely, I'm surprised you gave this enough credibility to even bother typing that.
1) This has been looked into previously by Tesla in numerous instances in which it was always found to be the driver accidentally pressing the accelerator pedal. Tesla has the data to prove it. Had this not been the outcome, Tesla certainly would have done whatever it took to prevent such a serious anomaly from occurring again. The pedal depth and spacing between the accelerator and brake (as well as the amount of pressure required to activate them) fall within the normal range when compared to the body of all other modern passenger vehicles.
This unintended acceleration is a common complaint with ALL brands of cars, particularly right after a driver runs into something, typically starting at low speed and sometimes accelerating to frightening speeds. A couple of years ago, my mother-in-law drove her new Volvo right into a storefront. She was completely sober and alert but apparently, she is below average with leg/foot coordination. This is common. Volvo's emergency braking helped reduce the severity of the accident but it did not completely stop the car. At first, she insisted she was stepping on the brake as it smashed into the store in front of her parking spot but eventually she came to accept that she was actually pressing on the accelerator.
The bottom line is ALL car companies get accused of this at one time or another and Tesla has (I'm sure) already looked into numerous reports of this and determined it was driver error. If there was an issue, I'm pretty sure it would have shown itself by now.
2) The request for investigation was filed by a Tesla short-seller. But that's just a coincidence, right?
Much ado about nothing.

The shorts keep regurgitating these old slimey attacks (unintended acceleration, fires, panel gaps, whompy wheels, etc). Anything to drive the price down. In the end no matter what Tesla is going to hit it out of the park and then nothing they do will work any longer. At least with the CT there are no panel gaps for them to obsess over.
They’ll blame the shine from the stainless steel as the cause for the cameras detecting a false object. Entire truck will need to be recalled, if not Elon is a government smock operating with no consequences as the entire system is rigged.
C'mon... that's Uncle Ben, not Yoda!

Sudden acceleration- 200s here we come!
Buy orders ready....
(They didn’t time this all that well though, will be old news by Tuesday!)

Our regular order is something like 300-400 kWh of PW per month. Business is booming, thanks PG&E!
If I have ever experienced unintended acceleration, its happened when I didn't realize I was still in cruise, because I was overriding the accelerator at the time. You can go significantly slower than the car is set to TACC cruise by being only very slightly on the pedal, but never fully off it. As soon as I went fully off the accelerator, to regen brake the car resumed TACC cruise speed, 35 mph or whatever and accelerated pretty good. Immediate braking always solved it.

Lol, Shortzes don't need the right STANKIN' investigatation. Poor shortzes stayin' after work on a Holiday Friday and readin' this forum blew $561K after 18:45 hrs shorting TSLA into the close of the After-hrs session (notice no change in the macros? QQQ)
Don't worry about it. Volume in their 'short' spree was HALF what it was before 18:45 hrs. ROFLMAO. Nobody cares. VWAP b4 18:45 hrs $510.63 18:45 and $505 afterward. What a waste of money.
They're jus' tryin' to piss you off and ruin you long weekend. Don't let 'em. They're nothings, pissants*. Water buoys while the bozz is off at a fancy NYC restauant. Sad losers, ho!
Cheers!

The higher-ups at NHTSA are already aware (for the last 1 1/2 years) that most Tesla complaints are fake:
Tesla report shows most negative NHTSA complaints are 'fake' and a tactic from 'detractors' - Electrek
None of this is new to them so I don't expect them to even bat an eye. Well, OK, they might shake their heads and giggle...

The weird thing is it was 500,000 cars suddenly accelerating at the same time.

The second chart even attempts to find a correlation with increases in complaints and Tesla reporting its quarterly results.
Ok I think I might see the pattern here too.

Please don't. Monday is a Federal Holiday. You've done enough. You can stop now.
And all in the same direction which decreased the length of a day by 0.32 femtoseconds.
