Hello,
all my life I've always driven petrol cars with manual shift. The automatic EV will be a welcome and comfortable ride for sure, but I'm a bit worried about how to drive it. I'll have to learn a few things from scratch. For example, without the leftmost shift pedal, how are you supposed to use the brake? Right foot for both pedals, like now, or right for accelerating and left for braking when needed? Is it hard to gauge the speed, since there is no motor noise to go by?
Probably silly questions, I know, but it's a new world for me.
You will just settle on what feels right for you pretty soon.
Your OP was last Thursday, so your probably already an expert!
I barely touch the brake and just leave my foot on the rest.
Regen 3, means that the car is very eager to slow down.
You will soon adapt to this and it will become second nature.
If it's too harsh, you can lessen the effect to suit you.
I can't understand why you would try and use both your feet.
Karting yes, when you need to be instantly changing from braking to acceleration and vice versa, but an EV?
Seems unessasary to me, but hey!
Each to their own and whatever works for you.
