Doesn't this indicate that she was likely "panic braking" on the accelerator?

This would override AEB / TACC on any vehicle I own, radar or not.

yeah this seems to be the most likely scenario. It sounds like the original poster's car was in the middle, tesla was at the end. OP's car suddenly breaks (or hits someone), tesla either does not react fast enough or starts reacting and then the tesla driver hits the gas pedal (meaning to break). Still not sure how they would be able to hit it twice if they hadn't backed up though.

I slowed down gradually and was already stopped at the red light with 2 cars in front of me when the Tesla plowed into my car.

Yes, I thought that could be the case too, but no way to know without seeing the logs.
