When I drive a good 50% of the time is me coasting. Like, imagine skateboarding but you have to be kicking or stopping, no coasting allowed. Whole different feel.
Seems like it should be configurable. Because
you don’t really get that energy back; you’re losing your kinetic back into electric at a loss. I want that speed.
Maybe it’s just a few days before the foot learns to hold the pedal for a good steady speed. It’s required in a gas car too, obviously, always need gas to maintain speed in atmosphere, but it sort of disappears from view.
Oops, no that’s it. It’s not the steady-speed driving where it must have bothered me, but all the times I just let off the gas because I do need to start slowing down, but don’t want to brake if I don’t have to.
In the Tesla, I’d let off the gas expecting to slow down at say 1 mph per second, and instead I’d be slowing down at 3 or 4 mph per second.
Eh, I dunno. Just felt wrong. Definitely felt cool in terms of power though. Instantly recognizable as “oh this next century shit”. In a new league that didn’t exist with gas.
