Unexpected acceleration while braking

2021 model 3
I swear my car lurched whilst braking. Ther ABS taking over might explain.
It's happened twice now.
I'm going to test it at the same place again. I had cruise control on at the time and put it down to that turning off late.

We'll see though.
 
My hybrid Lexus used to do this when going over bumps. The regen would cut out and the ABS took control. It felt like the car sped up, but it is just non-linear braking. Tesla should be able to program it more linear, but it is likely very difficult to program linear braking levels with regen and ABS kicking in. The Tesla is so heavy, I myself haven't noticed this effect yet.
