Never operated a tesla, but I can get nowhere near the floor on a normal brake pedal, with the hydraulic force I'm pushing against.

I meant depressed as hard as one can. A very valid question, so i think you might find this teardown[0] interesting. It goes over the braking system and the brake booster they use (so you don’t really need to fight against the hydraulic force).
