It's creepy that Tesla is immediately telling the world what this guy did in his car. It shows that they really are spying on all Tesla drivers all the time and they'll publish that information at the drop of a hat to save face.

    while I agree with you, this guy had his foot on the accelerator 100% of the way. in this case, if true, I'd have to side with tesla here

    The sensor said he had his foot on the pedal.

    Yes, that's what I said. There are two implications:

    1. Sensors never fail which is known not to be true.

    2. Tesla doesn't lie about accident data which is also known to not be true.

    Maybe if there weren't so many scam artists and ambulance chasers, they wouldn't need black boxes.

    Toyota avoided millions in lawsuits with black box data that showed the crying moms on TV were lying.
