How the everloving F** does this even happen? I cannot imagine an ICE car "refusing" switching gears. I know electric vehicles don't manage driving direction through physical gears and linkages like ICE vehicles but this feels like an absurd regression.
- InsomniacL 3y agoJust to be clear, I prefer my Tesla to my ICE car and I enjoy driving it as much as my Kawasaki ZX10R.. The Tesla will refuse to go in to gear for genuine reasons, such as: - refuses forward/reverse if the car is moving too fast in opposite direction - refuses forward/reverse if the car just turned on and foot isn't on brake I haven't worked out what the other reasons are though. The vast majority are when I'm in a rush, I get in sometimes have to press the stalk about 4 times (in 2 seconds) for drive. It could be because my seatbelt isn't on yet, or the car needs a small amount or time to boot up. To be fair I'm moving off faster (even pressing the stalk down a few times) than my ICE car, and Tesla adding the Chimes really helped.
