1 pedal driving is like piloting a jet ski whenever you let off the throttle. I leave 1 pedal driving engaged when I rent EVs.

In a hybrid, letting off the throttle it will coast and it regens a little but nowhere as much as 1 pedal driving.

I don’t understand why if you disable 1 pedal driving, you believe it will eat through brakes and rotors within a year just driving normal?

 

Because of the weight. When you charge your EV to 100 percent it limits regen and opd and you can feel the weight of the car, you have to use more brake force to stop the car until the SoC goes down.

Let me correct myself a little from my previous post. Simple put, opd makes controlling the cars speed much easier than just regen. IMO it's a better option when implemented correctly the just regen alone

 

It is nothing like that.

sad and disappointing. Rivian makes very nice vehicle vehicles

 

I leave my Q8 on coast which I find to be most natural and smooth. I even feel like it gives me better miles/kwh (contrary to what Tesla thinks) but I don't have any real data to back that up, just my own observation looking at the figure while driving. Oddly, the Audi lets you choose to more auto regen, but you can't go to full. It has a setting for a little. and then a lot, but neither will bring you to a full stop.

 

Audi gets about 2.5 miles per kWh Tesla Model Y ~3.5 miles per kWh you must have some inverse situation going on if you're getting better efficiency with the Audi.

 

interesting analogy. i don’t agree with that. a jetski is crazy abrupt. on my tesla, it’s smooth even if you let your foot off the gas completely. there’s also a setting to have less regen which presumably lets it coast a bit more.

but of course you can modulate the gas pedal… it’s not all or nothing.

the tesla implementation of 1 pedal driving is MUCH better than on my hyundai. still not sure why on hyundai you can’t leave 1 pedal engaged all the time… it turns off every time you turn off the car.

 

anyone not liking 1 pedal driving just hasn’t done it enough. after a while you realize there’s no point in pressing the brake pedal 90% of the time.

 

I have lots of friends who have EVs and Tesla and other EV marques let you take cars for extended periods. I spent all day with a Model S last year for instance. Same with a Rivan, and a Lucid Air. We’re going to do that with a Lucid Gravity soon.

Me not caring for that feature is not an attack on you and what you like, BTW. You can like it and I can not like it and that’s okay. There’s a reason why many manufacturers let you set it on or off and change the strength of it. It just doesn’t jibe with my style of driving.

 

Did they bring that back on Juniper? The only way I can do that on our '23, is by going aftermarket. It does reduce when the outside temp goes below ~32 degrees, or when charged above ~98%. I originally thought I wanted to have the ability to control it during inclement weather, but that really hasn't been the case.

I see this in the online manual, but ours doesn't show "Deceleration Mode".

 

Toyota purposefully leaves it off on the Lexus BEV....
Like start-stop on a gas model. Annoying

 

I didn't say that the Audi gets petter miles per kwh than my Tesla . I said having coasting in my Audi gets me better miles per kWh than having auto regen, which is contrary to what Tesla said. The reason why they removed this setting when it was in the early Model S is because 1pedal driving is supposed to give you better efficiency, or game the EPA rating system, I can't remember which.

 

You show little interest or even disdain for so many aspects of EVs, one can't help but wonder what about this thread interests you. Did you ever stop to wonder why so many people you know bought electric vehicles?

 

Am I the only person here that still actually owns a Lexus too?

 

I agree. Your Tesla is more like my hydrostatic riding mower than a jet ski.
