How could a vehicle that may not disengage the accelerator when the brake is applied be allowed on the road??? And who at Tesla thought this was a perfectly fine feature to have?
Do you know of any vehicles that do automatically disengage the accelerator for you when you press the brakes? It sounds like the driver was pushing both the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Not to defend Tesla, but this one seems like it could be the owner’s fault
Dont most vehicles do that though? I may only be driving old vehicles.
Most vehicle disengage the accelerator when you take your foot off the gas and terrain isn’t a factor.
And terrain should never be a factor on if taking your foot off the accelerator disengages acceleration, and if cruise control is active, pressing the brakes should disengage acceleration immediately.
Maybe they don’t teach this anymore but when I took drivers ed we were taught to use the left foot lightly on the brake after going through a puddle to dry the brakes… I didn’t think cars were supposed to just ignore the gas pedal when the brakes are applied.
WTF is that? Have never heard of drying the brakes ever.
You should never be using your left foot on the pedals. Also, disk brakes always are making light contact, so you have zero reason to “dry” them.
You should never be using your left foot on the pedals.
Unless you are driving a manual transmission.
Yeah, no. Still a terrible idea.
You have clearly never driven a manual transmission, nor have the slightest idea how to. It is not possible to operate a manual transmission without using both feet on the pedals.
Please don’t comment authoritatively about things you know nothing about. It just makes us all a little bit worse off.
You use the left foot on the clutch only. The other one alternates between the two pedals. I’m likely older than you are and have driven manual vehicles all my life.
Well done on your comment.
Everyone ITT is acting like it says “may not stop”. That’s not what it says. Is says, "may or may not disengage THE ACCELERATOR "
Is this dumb shit pressing the accelerator AND brake at the same time???
my dad’s old car had to do that or else it would stop at idle lol
120k and it thought I had dirt on Hillary.
Okay, can someone explain to me what the fuck this means? Is this guy just speaking gibberish? Or am I out of yet another loop?
He’s saying it tried to kill him.
$30k for repairs? what the fuck
More money than sense if you buy one of these death skips. Comedy fall-apart clown cars.
The breaks may or may not actually stop the car - Tesla
Oh okay. Let’s get back to hating on Europe and why they don’t want to buy our strong and beautiful cars.
The front crumpling shattered the widow?
I heard the frame was made of weaker material to offset the weight of the body (which is utterly ass backwards). This means the shock of the impact will travel through the body instead of into and being absorbed by the frame.
So, in other words, yup, the front crumpling will shatter the windows.

Not sure if this is a serious correction, brake is correct.
Edit: I think I get it?
