Does not look anywhere near as steep as my driveway (mine is a 2022 Model Y, only had it a few weeks). The braking force in Hold mode does seem to depend on the state of charge of the battery - when it is near 100% there is virtually no braking. For some reason it only seems to use regeneration...

Difference is that standard automatic transmission will let you ride the brake. The Tesla complains if you press both peddles at once and ignores the accelerator. This means you have to release the brake and only then can you press the accelerator leaving time for it to start rolling down hill...

How steep is the hill you are on when it happens? I have a steep driveway (15 to 20 degrees slope) up to my garage and I find Hold does not always behave. When rolling forward down the hill, it does not come to a stop when the accelerator peddle is released. Worse, sometimes hold gives way when...

Creep mode is completely useless. When reversing up hill into the garage, there seems to be no resistance to rolling forward down hill as soon as the brake is released. At least in hold mode it holds most of the time! I took it to a Tesla Service Center (nearly 80 miles away). They could not...

In my first day with my brand new Model Y I ran into some really horrible behavior to do with Stopping Mode: Hold on a hill. I'll come back to that, but I have today done some more experiments and have a better understanding of what is going on and how to manage it, so I'll talk about that...
