It's not like recalling all the cars physically back to the service centres to have the problem solved.
It's done with OTA software apps.

If they drive for a while using one pedal and they need to make an emergency breaking maneuver then it might lead to this problem. I was driven once by someone who mainly drove a manual. After a long highway stretch on cruise control on an automatic they needed to stop at a gas station. They then proceeded to depress the break as if it was a clutch. Meaning hard breaking on a highway. That was not fun at all.
But it is strange that there were so many of these problems in China considering a lot of other cars provide this one pedal driving option.

Tesla seems to think it's also operator error, hence the new warning when the accelerator is floored. I remember the issue being a lot more common (and having a lot more news coverage) when Teslas were just becoming popular.


I did exactly the same idiotic error when I drove my first automatic after driving manual my whole life. Very jarring. Breaking habits is way more difficult than it ought to be.

Interesting, I've never heard of this one pedal option before Tesla, such that I thought Tesla invented it....
