    I had never heard of one pedal driving until you mentioned it here. After reading about it that sounds like a pretty interesting feature. Do you get to use it very often or is it pretty niche?

      I think it’s really cool feature for two use cases:

      1. If you’re mostly doing freeway cruising
      2. If you have any mobility issues with your feet or legs

      But I tend to drive a lot on streets with stoplights. And after having a couple real rough stops when the lights turned yellow right before my go/no-go line, I turned it back off. I just couldn’t get used to the abrupt force of the brakes in that mode. I’m sure you could get used to it though, and I might enable it on the freeway for road trips.

      I use it all the time in urban settings with my Chevy Bolt. It will slow to a complete stop and there’s a paddle on the steering wheel I can use to engage it if I’m not in one pedal mode, or make the Regen braking more aggressive if I am.
