I think it's interesting but I've also never had to brake quickly with it and I worry my brain would fail to jump back to the brake. I suspect it'll end up being more dangerous in the long run unless cars auto brake better.

Been using it for about 3 years. Your brain honestly figures it out pretty quickly. One pedal ramps the longer your foot isn’t on the pedal like a slow roll so you always instinctively think to hit the brake pedal if you need to stop with any urgency.

The Mach E has pretty mediocre

It depends on the car I believe. My Mach E doesn't brake as hard as Teslas that I've driven and honestly I'm braking too late more often than I do with normal 2 pedal driving. Mentally it just adds a split second of hesitation because I can't judge as precisely how quickly my car will come to a full stop. The Teslas that I've driven are nice because they brake much harder, which I personally like.

I've been doing it for a number of years, and haven't found that to be a problem. My brain doesn't consider one-pedal driving as equivalent with a hard stop, it's more about modulating my speed with high precision. If something jumps in front of me that necessitates emergency braking, I use the brake pedal like I always have.

At least in my car, it's not a problem. You can use one-pedal driving most of the time but the regenerative brakes aren't nearly as strong as the mechanical brakes so the mechanical brakes are still used. If for example you're coming up on traffic lights and they turn yellow, you won't be able to stop quickly enough with the regenerative brakes but you will with the mechanical brakes. Through little things like this you quickly build muscle memory for the mechanical brakes.
