 It's all because a bad throttle position sensor is sending garbled messages to the engine computer. You may experience:

Poor acceleration

Surging acceleration

Hesitation

Sudden acceleration when you are not pushing the gas pedal

Inability to travel at higher speeds

Bucking and jerking

This is a list of issues in ICE cars but all stem from a malfunctioing throttle position sensor. This suggests there is a sensor problem inside Teslas that experience sudden unintentional acceleration. As this shows you can accelerate even if you do not put your foot on the accelerator or even if you take it off.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR FAULTY: CAUSE OF FAILURE

A failure could have a number of different causes:

Damaged cables or connections on the accelerator pedal sensor

Missing voltage and ground supply

Faulty electronic evaluation unit in the sensor

E3 can also affect subtransmission and distribution systems by causing harmonic distortion and voltage depression. The voltage regulators at the substation will attempt to correct for low voltage levels on distribution circuits. This attempt can result in overvoltages when the E3 stimulus decays to a low value

Looks like my induced current theory is getting stronger. Electromagnetic field could be inducing currents in a Tesla that would cause voltage depression to the accelerator position sensors so they falsely register the accelerator as 100% downpressed. This would explain why the Valets EDR data jumps from 31.2% to 80% to 100%...sudden dropping voltage.
