I would agree that the brake pedal should always override the go pedal. I did a brief test and the car did not move an inch forward with the brake and go peddle pressed using one foot on both pedals like you described. The brake pedal must travel several inches before it is level to the go pedal, which means the brakes are heavily engaged before the go pedal is depressed. If your car does anything different, there should be no problem recreating it at the service center so they can correct any issue. You could also practice on positioning your foot correctly for braking so that it does not touch the go pedal at all. Basketball players with shoe sizes much larger than yours can drive any car without this problem.
Driving a Tesla does not make someone a superior driver, and I admit there are idiot drivers that drive in a Tesla. Some people in gas-engine cars drive with two feet, one on the gas and one on the brake. They do the same thing in a Tesla too. What happens when you put one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake in a gas-engine car? Does the engine disengage? No it does not. The Tesla works the same way. Some people actually do this on purpose, it is called power braking. So why are you trying to bash Tesla if it works the same as every other car on the road with regard to pushing both pedal simultaneously.
