I just rented a similar Model X (P100D) last week. They are remarkably fast for the size of the vehicle, but I found the accelerator pedal to be the closest thing to an ideal throttle control that I've experienced. It's extremely gentle and forgiving in slow/close situations (e.g. parallel parking), has instantaneous response and backing off of it brings an aggressive regen braking effect that is very featherable (?) and useful.
I would guess they just panicked in a strange an extremely expensive car and weren't able to lift their foot off the pedal once doom was imminent. It happened to me when I was a kid, I ran over a fence while turning my dad's girlfriends car around in a tight parking lot. I accidentally goosed the throttle while backing up, panicked, then stomped it to the floor while backing over that poor fence. Very strange experience, almost like my leg was being shocked and I couldn't control it.
It could also be the carpets. The carpets suck. They have good velcro to stick to the floor, but there's a terrible glue that keeps the carpet attached to the velcro and it softens and unsticks in the heat.
If you have those carpets, I would recommend sewing the velcro patch to the carpet so it doesn't come loose.
Yep, I’ve been there too. Mom’s new Camaro, ironically I hit my neighbor about 10 miles from our neighborhood. No one was hurt but I have never dreaded a phone call to mom more heh.
