All Teslas use one pedal driving. I'm under the impression that all EVs operate that way.
Edit: Yes of course, one pedal driving only applies to regenerative braking, normal brake pads are still engaged with a separate pedal. The Bolt works the same way. Imagine if simply releasing the accelerator slammed the brakes as hard as possible. That's a bad idea.
- dsfyu404ed 9y agoLike the "go" pedal on a hydro-static tractor?
- cbhl 9y agoThe Nissan Leaf is notable for not using one pedal driving -- it is tuned to use two-pedal driving to feel like a gasoline-powered car.
- Shivetya 9y agonot the new one. the new Leaf (never used/tried old one) has one pedal features with a .2g decel the GM cars can work both ways, the L on the automatic puts in one pedal or as close to it as GM will allow. Using D is like any gas car and much simpler to stretch mileage for many in
- madengr 9y agoI have a 2015 leaf. Put in ECO mode, then switch to B (braking) instead of D (drive). Plenty of regen for 1 pedal driving. Also, tapping the brake turns on the regen in normal D mode, without moving the brake calipers. Supposedly, there is a recall mandated by NTSB that will mess up this 1 pedal driving. The NTSB does not like it because the brake lights do not turn on. I'm not having that done. What I don't like is the "creep" that they put in to emulate an automatic (torque converter).
- LeifCarrotson 9y ago> The NTSB does not like it because the brake lights do not turn on. I'm not having that done. The NTSB must be ignoring the millions of manual-transmission vehicles which can be slowed down through engine braking without their brake lights turning on.
- madengr 9y agoSure, but they can't be brought to a stop with engine breaking.
- LeifCarrotson 9y ago"Braking". It can definitely come to a grinding, flaming halt with engine breaking. (Sorry, that typo is a bit of a pet peeve). And you can easily get down to 5mph with engine braking, which is more than slow enough to be a problem if you don't have brake lights on.
- jstanley 9y ago> tapping the brake turns on the regen in normal D mode, without moving the brake calipers. Surely I'm not the only one terrified by this? Is there seriously a computer sitting between the pedal and the pads, and the pads don't move unless the computer says so?
- revscat 9y agoThis is incorrect. Teslas have both a brake and an accelerator. Releasing the accelerator causes regenerative braking to kick in, but they still have a brake.
