Are you saying the car should go if you press the accelerator while you're holding the brake? No car I've ever driven worked that way, if I'm holding on the brake and I apply pressure to the accelerator the car stays still.
- FireBeyond 2y agoRight - it's how Audi's "pseudo" launch control works. Push the brake pedal to the floor. Push the accelerator to the floor, and then push it past a last detente while the ECU holds it at 3500rpm and builds up the turbo boost, and then you can release the brake. You can feel that the brakes are what's holding you, but never do you feel that they're about to fail and you're about to floor ~520hp unexpectedly.

- inferiorhuman 2y agoThey're accomplished by having the more powerful front brakes hold the car while the less powerful rear brakes allow the rear wheels to spin. Sometimes water is used to reduce traction. Sometimes the brakes are modified so that the front axle can be controlled by a hand lever without applying the rear brakes. In this case the Tesla was able to overpower its more powerful brakes and drag the car forward. That should never happen.
