Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

By default, Teslas are set in "one pedal driving" mode, which makes it so that the wheels won't turn without the throttle/accelerator being pressed. That's a different interface and behavior from the traditional automatic transmission, where simply lifting the foot off the brake pedal allows the vehicle to roll either forward or backward, depending on whether it's in D or R.
The selection of the "transmission" setting of P R D in a Tesla also doesn't have tactile feedback that subtly communicates which direction it's set to.
The combination of the two means that the car is different in these ways and can contribute to mistaken gear selection plus application of the throttle, compared to a typical car.
i felt more than a little sick to my stomach at "one pedal driving".
Have you tried one pedal driving?
honestly, i can barely tolerate two pedal driving, but the thought of just removing the ability to actively brake in an emergency seems profoundly short sighted and dangerous.
It doesn’t do that. I don’t think there is any vehicle that actually has only one pedal. There’s still a brake you can use any time.
One pedal driving simply means the accelerator also slows the car as you let it up, so you may only need that one pedal on a lot of driving. This also means that standard brake pads and calipers can last much longer, since they don’t need to be used as often
This is popular in electric vehicles because regenerative braking makes it convenient.
While you could have the brake pedal do both braking and regen, now you’d be adding complexity to the braking system, making it less reliable
Edit: my car is set for very aggressive regen, so I rarely use my brakes. If I take my foot off the accelerator, it will come to a full stop fairly quickly. That’s one pedal driving. However it also has a standard brake and you better believe I’m using that as I’m waiiting at a traffic light or someone cuts me off or I mistime the regen
Ahh, no. Plenty of automatic vehicles will either not move or move very slowly when idling in drive, and you will always need to accelerate if you're facing uphill.
It definitely sounds like the driver was at least partially to blame.
