Tesla in 2020[0]:

>Likewise, applying the brake pedal simultaneously with the accelerator pedal will override the accelerator pedal input and cut off motor torque, and regardless of the torque, sustained braking will stop the car.

This is quite a stronger statement than: "the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed". The former statement is true in my experience with my Model 3: if you press the brake and the accelerator at once, you get a notice on the screen saying that it's not going to let you be an idiot. I wonder why the Cybertruck (seemingly) doesn't behave the same way.

It's all done in software, and software is very unlikely to be free of bugs.
