If it's anything like the e-pedals used in Subaru and Honda vehicles, they should have two different independent position sensors in the pedal. The ecu monitors both, and the value from both must match. If there is a discrepancy, it uses the lower value or zero. So it's extremely unlikely the pedal could malfunction in a way to show 100% pressed.
But I don't know if Tesla does the same.
Drive-by-wire cars should all have two position sensors for the pedal. Teslas should have it too.
