Increase space between brake and accelerator pedals?

[Warrior 6]

I wanted to find out if it is possible to slightly increase the spacing between the brake and accelerator pedals in the Macan EV. It would be easier for big-footed people like me or folks wearing boots to drive without accidentally hitting the brake pedal as I try to accelerate. Thoughts

No way will a dealer modify that configuration due to liability issues. It would have to be a "custom" job and I think it's doubtful you'd find anyone willing to do it - again, due to liability reasons.

As a side note - I'm sure any VW autogroup vehicle has had the spacing of the brake and accelerator pedal analyzed adequately. If you're old enough to remember you'll recall the "unintended acceleration" lawsuits of the Audi 5000. In reality, drivers were hitting the accelerator when they thought they were hitting the brake pedal. That lawsuit just about took Audi out...........

Totally forgot about this.

Caterham 7 drivers will tell you to take your shoes off. Seriously, that was the only way I could drive my brother's one. I've got reasonably large feet, wider than average for sure. Not having any problem in the Macan.
