Being forced to brake while driving can also be very dangerous. How is this not a problem? And I think you're misusing the word "technically" here.

Braking is fundamental to driving, how is it dangerous? If the gas pedal was stuck to the floor and I was on the highway my first instinct would be to stomp on it a few times to get try and get it dislodged. If that failed, I’d put it in neutral, brake, and pull over somewhere out of the way.

You're on the highway going 80 with traffic and all of a sudden you have to stop. In the middle of the highway! How is that not dangerous?

Discussion was gas vs EV braking, op was guessing it's impossible to kill an EV with stuck accelerator...

Of course stuck accelerator is dangerous in any situation in any car...

braking will succeed if you're on a straight aways most of the time. But on slick roads, curves, etc it can be quite dangerous.

Model S & Model X 2021+

Since there is no gear stalk on the 2021+ Model S and Model S, you’ll need to tap the car icon to go to Controls, then tap and hold the Neutral button. This will engage your car into Neutral.
