How to Cancel Tesla's One-Pedal Mode?
2 Answers
To cancel the "one-pedal" mode, adjustments need to be made in two settings: regenerative braking and stopping mode. Select low regenerative braking, then set the stopping mode to creep. If regenerative braking is set to standard, there will be a noticeable deceleration drag sensation when lifting off the accelerator.
As a Tesla owner, after driving for a while, I found the one-pedal driving mode a bit uncomfortable, especially in urban traffic jams where releasing the accelerator pedal causes sudden deceleration, which sometimes feels unnatural and even a bit dizzying. Later, I explored the touchscreen, went into the main menu, opened the 'Controls' option, then selected 'Driving,' and found the settings for 'Acceleration Mode' or 'Stopping Mode.' There's usually a slider or option to adjust regenerative braking to 'Low' or 'Standard,' which essentially cancels the one-pedal feel. However, it's important to note that this feature is designed for energy efficiency and safety, so completely disabling it isn't possible as it's linked to the electric motor braking. For daily driving, I recommend keeping some level of intensity to get used to it, otherwise, emergency braking will still rely on the brake pedal. Safety first—new drivers might want to read the manual a few more times or check the guides in the Tesla app. In short, with gradual adjustments, you'll eventually find your comfort zone, significantly improving driving comfort. Don’t rush to turn it off completely.
