Ahh, that explains it, my "speed limit offset" is set to zero.

One could speculate that maybe the guy 'driving' from the passenger seat tried to plant his boot on the brake and got the accelerator instead?

In my Model Y, there is no way the passenger could reach across to put his foot on the brake or gas unless they were straddling the console.

This was a Model S, though: https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/2015-tesla-model-s-da...

The linked article didn't say what model it was other than the fact that it was a 2019. Even so, that console only looks marginally easier to get your foot over. Definitely not a maneuver you could pull off in the heat of the moment.
