Tell him to be careful with that in ground propane tank. That caused this in the DC area last month:

EV ftw!!!
learned something from a person at the EA charging station the other day.
so i knew that "i-pedal" driving mode (like 1 pedal driving mode for tesla) isn't so efficient on my ioniq at least because awd is engaged all the time, so i use the next level down (3) normally. that's great and slows the car considerably when taking foot off the accelerator pedal, but the car does not stop, unlike i-pedal. however, you can pull and hold the left paddle behind the steering wheel at any time to engage 'max regen' which does stop the car. so that's a nice workaround if i want regen to stop the car.

When I had the Taycan for the test drive, I asked the sales guy why the Taycan doesn't have 1 pedal drive mode and his response was that Porsche does that very deliberately as it's not as efficient in terms of regen. He couldn't explain why, but said that's what the engineers mentioned.

I heard Alex on Autos once mention while reviewing an EV that OPD should be turned off when driving on long highway trips for all EV's except Tesla's. I believe he was testing the Polestar 2 SM

My son turns it to creep mode in the P2 and my wife keeps it on level 3 on the Ioniq, but they leave it on when taking the Y

I don't think he's driven a Tesla lately, although I could be wrong. Tesla has refined one pedal through updates to a point where it's very smooth. I can feel the difference between the Polestar, and Ioniq 5 and it's way smoother. My daughter who gets easily car sick barely feels it in the Y.

I've had a Tesla for almost 5 years now and it's always been incredibly smooth. I don't have the 1 pedal mode in my car but that's only when you're almost stopped.
Alex just doesn't know or interested in learning how to use it properly. That's all there is to it really.

No, i specifically meant that he was referring to brake release Regen when he said it's not smooth and makes him feel like puking.

I actually really don’t like 1 pedal driving…

If you don’t like one pedal driving don’t get a refreshed Model S, there is no other mode and no creep mode, one pedal driving is always on. I personally love it and don’t know how anyone doesn’t like it but everyone is different.

It’s just not at all what I’m used to and I find that when moving through traffic it catches me off guard. I’m used to giving a car a little boost of throttle and moving through traffic and I’m always surprised by the car dragging like I hit the brakes as soon as I take my foot off the throttle.
