The brakes in these things have a lot of safety features and logging added to them.
If the brake was pressed, it's easy to prove with the cars logs. It's how most of the unintended acceleration stuff goes.
If you press the brake and the accelerator at the same time the brake will win as well.
She put seals on the doors to prevent Tesla from accessing the interior saying she didnt trust Tesla, and she refused 3rd party independent testing that Tesla offered to pay for.
Nothing about this specific incident helps her credibility at all.
Also, this story is old.
This would be much better with citations.
Chevy hasn’t made those for 40 years!
Luckily Cessna still makes them
I feel like I'm missing out on a great joke here.
I don't know about great joke, maybe mildly funny reference.

I think you did pretty good on that one. I got a chuckle.

From Tesla Directly
Edit: And obviously, this is just Tesla's statements on the matter, but I haven't ever seen anything to contradict their claims, and she lost in court and was forced to apologize. I imagine if you read Chinese you could find more sources or even court documents reiterating the seals/refusal stances.
“Independent” “third party” seems unlikely, she made the right call. No brake company wants to be on the bad side of a major auto manufacturer.
Okay, but what are your expectations when you refuse to let an OEM look at the vehicle after an accident, refuse 3rd party testing, and then go around disrupting events and stores making claims you can't back up and refuse to let anyone to verify?
Why didn’t Tesla present its telemetry data? They are the ones suing so the burden of proof is on them.
She refused access to the car, that level of data probably needs access. Its very low level stuff like dual independent voltages read by the brakes as the pedal is depressed. 100% though it WAS there if they had access to the vehicle.
It also might not even be possible if data sharing is off or without consent.
