Thanks for your reply Earl and now happy it’s normal. I just hadn’t felt/heard it before and was a touch concerned. As it happens, it made me use the ‘roll’ stopping mode and think I prefer it so every cloud.
Thank you @Big Earl !! I used our one week old MYLR to pull my 3,500# boat/trailer down to a nearby lake. I personally like HOLD mode and I've heard the slight noise when it goes into hold and goes out of hold. I didn't know if the mechanism was electric brakes or a ping/cog like they use in automatic transmissions (which is a problem when you are on a slope). I found that backing down a launch ramp was very controlled/easy in Hold; the car regenned all the way down the ramp. What I didn't know is that when I stop going down the ramp, it automatically goes into HOLD, so brakes are applied and I don't have to keep my foot on the brake. With my ICE tow vehicles, I would keep my left foot on the brake while I pressed the accelerator a little as I released the brake so the car/trailer wouldn't roll backwards down the ramp / into the water. Not knowing about how the HOLD function worked in the MY, I tried to use both feet, but Tesla's yell at you if you use both feet (at least in HOLD mode). The car/trailer actually rolled back a little because although I had pressed the accelerator and then took my foot off the brake (when it yelled at me), it took a second or so before the car confirmed I was off the brake and it could go forward. It isn't in HOLD if you are pressing both the brake and accelerator, so the car/trailer started rolling briefly backwards into the water. Freaked me out.
Makes sense but feels odd. I kind of wish creep and roll had the auto hold option.
How would that even work? How would the car know whether you want to creep or stop if you aren’t applying either pedal? Similarly, how would the car know if you want to roll or stop if you aren’t applying either pedal? Roll is my preferred stopping mode - seems to be the smoothest and most intuitive, having come from manual transmissions. Roll will automatically hold the brakes once you come to a stop with the brake pedal.
I guess apply auto hold just like my past BMW, when you come to a complete stop engage auto hold. I’m thinking it should not matter if your in roll or creep mode, apply it when you come to a full stop.
Creep and roll will both apply brake hold when you come to a complete stop using the brake pedal, although creep requires an extra little squeeze of the brake pedal to set brake hold. Creep won’t come to a complete stop unless you press the brake pedal. Roll also won’t come to a complete stop unless you press the brake or happen to coast to a stop on a perfectly level bit of road.
Oh ok. I had not tried either and assumed auto hold only worked with the regen option, very good to know. Thanks
