I need someone to explain to me the mechanics of how a one-pedal car is supposed to function in the most fundamental way, because it sounds absolutely pants-on-head stupid to me from how it is described right now.

bird with big dick posted:Uh, what do you mean by “pushing the pedal up to brake” like do you think with one pedal you have to put your foot underneath the pedal and push it up with the top of your foot? I’ve been really confused by this discussion yeah. Do you like hook your toe under the pedal in the Tesla system? I haven’t heard about this before. Or is it like other electric cars and the car just slows automatically (recovering power) when you take your foot off the gas?

I don't even care about the other poo poo but software-bolding a loving Gothic typeface, thus making the thin strokes thicker really smothers my brothers.

There’s just a lot of drag when you lift off the accelerator. When you’re travelling over country roads or in light traffic, you can slow by lifting your foot a little. And yeah if you’ve ever driven a manual transmission or even just forced an automatic into 1/2, it’s like that.

Maybe it's something hyperstupid like a bicycle style toe clip or the car equivalent to a progressive trigger on a gun - press it to different levels to select what you want the car to do

Rocker pedal. Press with the heel to brake and - ultimately - go backwards, press with the toes to accelerate and go forwards. I used to drive a vehicle like that at work a lot and then almost ran my brother over with a 1986 Opel Ascona 1.8 GLS Exclusive Automatic because I tried to back it out of the parking spot by just slamming my heel on the accelerator.

It's impossible to operate, just point it at the nearest body of water and pray for a soft landing. when you lift off the gas pedal fully, the car uses the electric motor(s) to charge the battery, modern EVs have pretty powerful motors, so this provides enough braking force for 99% of your driving needs, just by feathering the "gas" pedal, hence "one pedal driving". It's also good for range and economy because it converts your momentum back into energy instead of dissipating it as heat. The brake pedal exists and remains fully functional and available for use, most EVs require you to press it to remain stationary at, say, a red light. Every car can turn off one-pedal, at least down to the level a regular, automatic car would slow down with the foot off the gas, in my car it's just a button near the shift buttons, on a Tesla you have to dig through menus, but Tesla also has a few more options for how aggressive the braking is when you let off the pedal, compared to other EVs. Some people love it, some don't. I use one-pedal mode all the time, I just find it intuitive and nice to use. My fiance didn't like it and only turned it on in traffic on the freeway, because it's really nice for smoothly adjusting your speed constantly. That's why you can turn it on and off. I think some people try to like intellectually break the whole process down and get super confused, but really you just get in the car and drive it like normal. Whatever the Saddest Rhino was talking about with lifting the pedal was either poorly phrased or poorly understood, you don't lift up on the pedal, it's just like a normal gas pedal.

That last bit specifically wasn't clear to me, but now I have a better understanding of it.

in order to brake the tesla you accelerate faster so that the sudden stop comes sooner

Samovar posted:I need someone to explain to me the mechanics of how a one-pedal car is supposed to function in the most fundamental way, because it sounds absolutely pants-on-head stupid to me from how it is described right now. When you lift up the throttle, the car starts slowing down as if you were lightly braking. It's not actually using the brakes, but charging the car and I guess through the friction used to charge, it slows down the car kind of like engine braking. It can be strong enough to bring you to a full stop, but that level of braking is configurable in software. So technically, you don't need to press the brake pedal to stop if you time it right, thus one pedal driving. It doesn't mean there actually is only one pedal. Brakes are of course still available on their own pedal if you need more forceful braking. It sounds weird, but I've used it and it actually works well and you get used to it pretty quickly. Most EVs have a similar feature as it improves efficiency. Once you get the hang of it, it makes for an actually super smooth driving experience. Edit: I guess an other way to put it: instead of the throttle being additive of power like in a gas car, think of it like a dimmer switch. The amount of pressure on it dictates how fast you are going, and letting off pressure from 50% to 25% will slow you down slightly. And if you don't touch the throttle at all, there is no power and the car stops. I hope this makes sense lol Gros Tarla fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Mar 11, 2024 |

Wasn't the whole thing that the tesla was also supposed to automagically know if you want to be in reverse or drive? I could swear i remember the touchscreen gear selection being the more stable backup option to whatever was supposed to be primary

loving hell. I really wish there were some regulations or at least ISO suggestions that various controls on a car be done with something that has tactile feedback. Having to control things with a touchscreen that doesn't provide any feedback is awful design.

Yeah that is not at all what I imagined when people said «one pedal driving» - that sounded like the gas and all braking functions were on a single pedal with no other pedal functioning

That's the main difference with gas cars in that regard: gas cars will roll if they are into gear and you aren't touching any pedals. EVs default state in that situation is to stop.

Just imagine 1 pedal driving as a car with heavy engine braking. The brake pedal still works, you just need it less.
