As somebody who already develops leg cramps when driving more than an hour or so with no cruise this sounds absolutely horrible.

- nielsbot 3y agoHow would this be worse? You can press a single pedal instead of switching between 2 pedals. Cruise control is still available in one pedal mode if you want to give your "gas foot" a... break.
- peeters 3y agoI mean GP specifically mentioned "no cruise" and while I doubt that's common in EVs, to their point in an ICE you can take your foot off of the gas, do some stretches, give it a quick rest, and put it back on the pedal all before you would noticeably change speeds. In an EV with regenerative braking you'd be noticeably decelerating if you did the same. I think that's what they were reacting to; the idea of not being able to give your foot a rest. But again...your EV is probably going to have cruise.

- dharmab 3y ago...are there any electric cars that _don't_ have cruise control?
- birdman3131 3y agoCruise fails when there is any sort of traffic. You can never match the flow right. Now with autopilot on newer cars as I understand it this is less of an issue but anything with standard cruise control is only gonna work on the interstate most of the time and often not well then.
- eurleif 3y agoAutopilot is Tesla's term for adaptive cruise control + autosteer. As its name suggests, the former is considered a form of cruise control.
- vel0city 3y agoLoads of cars, especially EVs in particular because they're normally based on higher trim levels, have adaptive cruise control as at least an option with many cars having it standard. Every Honda has adaptive cruise control standard, for example.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoI'll restate but slightly change the GP's comment... Are there any EVs that don't have adaptive cruise control? ACC is becoming a standard feature on ICEs now.
- dharmab 3y agoAFAIK every new 4-wheeled EV sold in the US has it as an option or standard.
