I've been driving a Tesla for just over 4 years.
When I first got it, one-pedal driving wasn't implemented yet. Regen had a "low" and "high", and at first, I used "low", but found myself still using the foot brake to decelerate from high speeds. I change it to "high" after only a week or two, and it became exceptionally rare for me to use the foot brake.
It doesn't feel sluggish at all. You just have to get used to maintaining constant throttle input unless you want to stop. It's a bit of a retraining, but I learned it quickly.
Maybe it's because my previous cars were both manual transmissions which will always apply engine braking, especially in lower gears, so I was used to merely reducing throttle instead of completely removing it when I wanted to slow down a bit.

I had to look it up since I don't own a model 3. there is actually: Regenerative Braking: [Low] [High] Stopping Mode: [Creep] [Roll] [Hold] I think one-pedal driving is basically [High] + [Hold] and makes the car feel sluggish
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoI use High + Hold and I don't think it makes the car feel sluggish at all. It just takes a little bit of mental training to get used to not completely releasing the throttle until you're under 10 mph unless you really want max regen braking, which for comfort reasons, is rare. To me, what makes a car feel sluggish is...well...being sluggish and having no power. Since I have the Model 3 Performance, that's not a problem at all. :-D
