That's some hogwash because a power surge or voltage drop to the sensor has caused sudden acceleration. I highly doubt 127 cases or whatever the number is was all user error especially if this case was part of that.

Accelerator pedal sensor data from the log file of a Tesla S sudden acceleration incident is
provided, and a Tesla circuit diagram is used to explain how the data is obtained from the two accelerator
pedal position sensors. Examination of the data shows that the accelerator pedal sensor output increased
to cause the sudden acceleration. But the increase in the accelerator pedal sensor output could not have
been caused by the driver. Instead, the increase in the accelerator pedal sensor output appears to have
been caused by a fault in the motor speed sensor, with which it shares a common+ 5V power and ground.
