    No way bro, single pedal driving is amazing.

    What’s amazing about it? Seems intuitive unintuitive as hell but I’ve never actually experienced it personally. How do you control how fast you stop or just coast? What if the electronics fail? My car the brakes are mechanically connected to the pedal, if the power brakes go out I can still brake without them (although it is much more difficult).

    edit: that was supposed to say UNintuitive

      I have a Mach-E and drive exclusively in one pedal mode. With my car you can still use the brake if you want. But honestly once you adjust to it, it becomes very instinctive to let it accelerate and decelerate based on the traffic patterns around you.

      Now, if someone’s doing some stupid shit in Seattle during rush hour traffic I end up using the brake more but for 95% of my daily driving I’m just using the one pedal.

      It’s honestly more jarring going back to driving my truck with a traditional setup than it was adjusting to the one pedal setup.
