Unfortunately, we only have Chill and Standard for the MYLR.It really sounds like @secondclaw was driving in Chill mode, that's all. Take another test drive and this time check all of the driver settings before you actually start driving! For minimum pedal pressure use Sport mode accelerator map.
If you buy Acceleration Boost, Standard changes to Sport.Unfortunately, we only have Chill and Standard for the MYLR.
I suspect demo cars don't have that.If you buy Acceleration Boost, Standard changes to Sport.
Likewise.Yeah, I was thinking about this post while driving today, and I just couldn't agree with the "hard pedal". My best guess is that your current vehicle has a really "light" feeling pedal.
No doubt you'll get used to the pedal feel after a day or two of driving.
Ahh, I keep losing track of which cars have which accelerator maps. Seems 3 and Y never get Standard and Sport at the same time, it's one or the other. :-(Unfortunately, we only have Chill and Standard for the MYLR.
Test drove a MY LR yesterday and couldn't believe how much constant pressure needs to be applied on the accelerator pedal. I am having serious doubts my wife, (with much weaker legs and feet) could ever drive it, even a short distance, without pain. There is no current adjustable Regen settings in the Y's firmware. We had the car set in Chill mode vs. Standard. Tested it in both Hold mode for stopping and Creep mode. There seemed to be no decrease in pedal force application. Did not try Roll mode. It is the acceleration and maintaining the speed that concerns me. I will get used to this, but for her -- I am seeking advice on what to do, if anything, to help her drive the car without pain.
Is setting the car to AP in heavy traffic even advisable? She would still have to moderate the accelerator pedal for local slower traffic, no? Or am I wrong?
Just a word to be careful using AP on local roads. It's not really designed for that. If pedal pressure on the highway is what concerns you, head to the highway and try it there.Met with another SA since my usual SA was on a day off. We will be sceduling another test drive sometime in the near future to help sort this out and will definately try EAP this time around to see what that's like on very local roads. The downside might be that it could move the car to a far side of a two-lane small road where there is little to no markings and that would probably freak her out. Or it might work marvelously. Dunno. We will also check to see if the car is set to a speed limitation, which only might affect the pedal pressure. And Standard mode. I'm not going to pay for higher acceleration modes. Also will try "Roll," which wasn't selected last time (I will always use "Hold"). I will get used to pedal no matter what. She might not. That's what we need to find out. Worst case scenerio is that I'll be doing most/all the driving on driving vacations. Could be worse.
Roll mode behaves like the car is in neutral and obeys gravity. I believe it will roll backwards on a hill if your foot is not on the brake.Also will try "Roll," which wasn't selected last time (I will always use "Hold"). I will get used to pedal no matter what.

My wife uses “roll” mode because it is the closest mode resembles ICE car. Would she eventually switch to “hold”? May be. Or not.Roll mode behaves like the car is in neutral and obeys gravity. I believe it will roll backwards on a hill if your foot is not on the brake.
It seems to be similar to holding in the clutch of a manual transmission. No sure why anyone would use this mode. Maybe I'm missing something ....
I think utilizing autopilot is ideal ESPECIALLY in heavy traffic. On smaller, open roads is where you might have trouble, as it could make you run a light or stop sign. Instances like these just require you pay closer attention, which you should already be doing regardless of your setting. People like to say autopilot is only designed for highway driving, but that's a gross generalization and inaccurate in practical use.Is setting the car to AP in heavy traffic even advisable?
I just don't want to be uncomfortable having to force a pedal for prolonged period of time. During MY test drive I felt it in the hamstring ...
I think this guy just needs to hit the gym!... if Standard/Sport alleviate having to push the hamstring to do too much work, then that would be good.
To my knowledge, EAP is no longer available in the USA.... will definately try EAP this time around to see what that's like on very local roads.
