Bump in front of foot pedals
- Thread starter kmaluo
- Start date
Sorry to hear about this, but I'm quite relieved to hear I am not alone in this. I found myself sticking to the "hover over the accelerator" in traffic, as it's a familiar/safer position despite my discomfort, and when the roads opened up, going with the "planting it in front of the brakes" position, which, as you say, is a touch far for comfort, but with EAP and no other cars around, I figure it'll have to do -- especially on extended trips.

I have to say I really don’t notice it while driving, though I do when getting in the car. Kind of surprised it doesn’t cause more issues for me.
Gotta love EVs and their thick battery-laden floors.
You guys should have waited for the Porsche Taycan! Zee Germans do not suffer such indignities lightly and have undoubtedly addressed such abominations in their flawless vehicle.

I'm not a fan of it either. I will say it isn't anywhere near as pronounced as the one in the Alfa Romeo Giulia, it was like a small cliff there
Weird, I wonder why they have it in that car? Any ideas?

They’re just talking about the slope down in front of the pedals. The floor is higher than a traditional vehicle, further back from the pedals.

I never noticed the elevation change, but I do have a hard time finding a good place to put my right foot when I'm using autopilot. I'm so used to constantly using my right foot from driving other cars and it just feel weird having it no nothing.
11, and I'm 5'11“. Only bugs me in Auto Pilot when my right foot isn't on the gas pedal.

Bump? What bump? I guess I'll have to look closely when I get in the car tonight. I usually hover my right foot over the go pedal when running TACC. Essentially I just keep my heel planted and bend my foot back at the ankle. In long applications my foot moves away from the pedal by an inch or two. Never have I hovered over the brake.

This is why I wanted a picture to see what people are referring to.
I have a the maxpider kagu mats. This isn't my car as I have different pedals, but I put my heel in the red square, there's a change in elevation behind the red square toward the seat... but that's not where I put my foot. I'm guessing the battery is right underneath there.

Yes, can't imagine what else it would be for. Same reason the rear passenger floor is so high. Fortunately you have this little hole for your feet when riding in the front. Keeps the weight of my massive quads off of my rear.
Thanks for the pic.
According to the diagram, battery may not be the cause. It's quite far ahead.
