One-pedal driving. Let us not call it the “gas” or “gas pedal” any longer. Calling it the accelerator is too long a word that does not fully cover the function. In modern electric cars, it is the speed pedal — you control the speed with it. When you hit it, the car accelerates; when you release it, the car decelerates. It can decelerate using the resistance of the motor or more so by applying the brakes.
Comparing to other electric cars, they all are better than most drivers will ever realize. We will just never reach the boundaries of the capabilities of the car. What did surprise me was the behavior of the cruise control. It is fully adaptive stop-and-go cruise control. When approaching a red traffic light with cars waiting, it stopped, and then started driving again on green. Fantastic! But at the next red light, it just kept going. I was fouled by thinking it reacted to traffic lights, it was just the stop-and-go function of the cruise control that handled the previous red light. But that was my bad, a mistake not to make again.
The only of those functions that I used was the route planner. There were no surprises — it just knew where I was, where I wanted to go, and how to get there.The climate control did what it was supposed to do without requiring any attention. Great.
