If you are in heavy stop-and-go traffic you can slowly ease forward in a car with an automatic transmission (no idea if this works with a DCT) by letting up on the brake pedal, which is slightly easier and smoother than going brake-accel-brake. The same force also keeps cars from rolling back on a hit between when you let off the brake and hitting the accelerator. Not sure if a Tesla would roll back in that case, some cars have "hill" features to prevent that rollback. Edit: "standard"/manual transmissions will move forward in gear but they are not really meant to get going without gas and that would require a lot of effort on the clutch pedal to move in slow traffic without gas/brake. I think they misused the term "standard" and meant "car with conventional automatic transmission."
