More fake news as this is absolutely, totally, 100% untrue. Apparently these reviewers don’t understand or aren’t aware of ‘B mode’. B mode absolutely allows one pedal driving and does so beautifully. How do I know? I own the i4 RWD and use B mode almost exclusively. I almost never hit the brake pedal and the car comes to a complete stop by simply easing off from the go pedal as other EVs with one pedal driving do. In fact I occasionally force myself to use the brake pedal simply to ensure there’s no rust buildup from lack of use.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
You are 100% correct about beauty. Each of us must form our own opinion.Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
I find the car very nicely styled and get frequent compliments on its looks. I’m actually surprised by how many compliment the grill since it’s supposedly so controversial. All in all it’s been a fantastic car and my best EV by far (previous MS, i-Pace, e-Tron Sportback). I actually prefer the looks of the EV6 to the GV60, but they’re both fine.
I’ve discovered after owning the i-Pace and e-Tron I’m not an SUV guy. My wife says I’m a slow learner and should have realized that after the I-Pace.
No, I'm right.
My Model 3 is RWD and I use one pedal with it, the older Model S cars are the same even though that motor was inductive while M3 is permanent magnet.
It doesn’t really pass the sniff test when you think about it. Why does the number of motors matter for regenerative braking? That’s between the brakes and the battery, not the motor.
If you are on the edge of traction, which will rarely be the case, you would get less regen with RWD only versus AWD.
While you’re right that it’s incorrect, it’s important to note that regenerative braking doesn’t use the actual brakes; it uses the motors to stop.
I didn’t get from that article that one-pedal driving is bad. Just that it may not be any more efficient in a car that combines regen with hydraulics when you hit the brake pedal, as with the Taycan.There is a lot of discussion about whether one pedal driving is really a good thing in non Tesla BEVs. Here is an interesting article:
One-Pedal Driving Isn't Necessarily the Most Efficient Way of Driving an EV
It depends on what sort of car you have.www.roadandtrack.com
I did a test run yesterday on my GV60 with regen set to lowest (position 1). I drove the same way I normally drive...without caring about efficiency. It was a short trip slightly downhill on the way and, of course, slightly uphill on the way back. I seemed to be getting better efficiency that way than with one pedal driving. I am taking a longer trip today and will test it some more and will let you all know if I continue to do better.
