It is shocking how much driving you can do without using the brakes. And, often I wonder about these quirky mini-games people play while driving (optimizing metrics other than safety seems bad), but if you really try to minimize brake usage you are forced to maintain a really generous following distance.
- Terr_ 1y agoYeah, IMO it's excellent "mini-game" more drivers should be playing. 1. It encourages safety through adequate following-distance. 2. Drivers doing it are more aware of upcoming hazards, rather than less. 3. Overall improvement in traffic, reducing hard-stops, reducing hard-acceleration, and encouraging zipper-merging. 4. It displaces wayyyy-worse things bored drivers might end up doing.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoI feel tesla adjusts regen so you always stop exactly at the line on intersection. It’s a little bizarre. You don’t feel it but I noticed it way too many times.
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoI don't get that from my Tesla at all. I'm always having to keep giving it a little throttle to make it to the line.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoHmmm, that’s opposite of what I’m trying to say. My point is it never overruns the line, but it’s all just a speculation. I’d love to rigirously test this.
