I work as a valet driver and the Tesla - unlike any other car including the newer EVs from other brands - seems like it was designed by people who have never driven a car. Ever.
Call me crazy but having nearly all the controls in a stupid idiotic touch screen where you have to scroll through multiple menus for basic car settings is a terrible idea. And so is braking by letting off the gas.
And the people who buy them tend to be a certain kind of person… not the brightest
Braking by letting off the gas? So you can’t coast, it’s either go or stop?
If you wanna coast just use cruise control. Otherwise you have to keep the "gas" slightly pressed to maintain speed. It's way better but the very real downside is that you forget how to drive ice cars.
Couldn't agree more.
