Probably a good time to remind folks
@wk057 has offered, for a few years now, a bounty to anybody who can provide him a computer from a Tesla that showed actual unintended acceleration.
In dozens of cases so far 100% have turned out to be user error and he's shown them the logs to prove it.
As he once noted-

The accelerator pedal uses two independent hall effect sensors. These are both routed through different wiring harnesses on each side of the car and eventually go directly to the inverter at the rear motor. These sensors each have their own offsets so they can be compared for consistency/accuracy. If the readings from the sensors don't perfectly pass sanity checks in the inverter then the car doesn't move and it throws an alert to the driver to that effect.
