Teslas do aggressive regen braking when you lift your foot. And it's not possible to disable that behavior, unlike other EVs.
So-called single pedal driving isn't very familiar to most drivers, making it unsuitable for rentals where users would prefer not having a learning curve.
Also if you ask the community how to disable regen braking you'll be told that you're driving it wrong, see:

- pmontra 3y agoSo it's like driving a high downforce racing car: you lift and the aero drag brakes the car more powerfully than a normal car does when braking with the pedal. Definitely not something people are used to.
- Dylan16807 3y agoDoes that actually disable regenerative braking? If so, that's definitely driving it wrong, though it would be Tesla's fault for not having a brake pedal regen option.
- hyperdimension 3y agoHow strong is regent braking compared to engine braking in a manual? Does it feel like just staying in the same gear? Downshifting one?
- porkbeer 3y agoMuch stronger than even downshifting imho.
