Vehicle hold function, which can now be engaged without a hill, with a more "assertive" press on a brake pedal, means that you can be in creep, or not in creep, when the car is stopped, in drive, and feet nowhere near pedals.
With creep on, the behavior of "what happens when I take my foot off the brake" is different depending on whether the vehicle hold is engaged or not. With creep off, the behavior is consistent.
In a Tesla, with the latest software, if you're stopped, and your feet are off the brake, it does not mean you're in park, whether you have creep on or off. Assuming you were disoriented for less than 10 minutes, that is.
I'll claim that because of that, in a Tesla with the current software, creep off is safer, because the result of removing the foot off the brake is always consistent - the car doesn't move (on flat ground.)
