"Like an ICE car". That really not true. Regen is very comparable to a manual transmission car until you get to VERY slow speeds (which is why I like it). Plenty of EVs behave like "creep". Its a false terminology.Put it on LOW and CREEP. The car becomes like an ICE car
Yup. That's what I did with my Model 3 when my son took his driving test. No issues at all.Put it on LOW and CREEP. The car becomes like an ICE car
It's becoming an easier mistake to make every day, because more and more people keep making it. Eventually it will probably become so common that it will show up as an alternate spelling in dictionaries, and I'll just have to accept it. Doesn't mean I won't grumble about it though. Durn kids...@Johnny Vector Sorry about that, break did look weird to me. Just a brain fart
Woah there. Im sure they can get another car or rent one to pass and be on there way. Give people a little slack who are following constantly changing rules and regs. It sucks, im sure its the most devastating to the young driver, but there is value in learning brake application especially at high speeds and emergency situations.If you have the means, I'd sue over this. I'm not normally one to jump to that, but this is clearly a case of an examiner making up her own rules.
...should be prepared to drive a car without that assistance. She kept saying how her 2016 Jeep didn't do that. I think this is just a case where the law is behind technology. In California they won't sell gas cars in 2035 so I imagine by then everyone will be used to regenerative breaking...
I'll go one further; they should all have at least one 'demo e-car' and it should be *mandatory* that they all pass on both gas *and* electric.Like Automatic Transmission, it should now adapt to regenerative braking.

Well as long as she is being failed, then put that puppy in Ludacris mode and give that examiner the scare of their life
I sympathize because I flunked the first time for entering the DMV parking lot too slowly at the end of the test, causing someone to have to anticipate changing their speed.How much does this upset you and your child. If so, fight it. You said you talk to the examiner manager. They backed up the examiner. It won't be in any law. It will be in the DMV procedures. I would contact your state house representative. Also contact the State DMV not the local office. At the end of the day. Do you want to complain or get your child a Drivers license. The examination is very subjective. The examiners can flunk about anyone for anything.
DMV employees are clearly not selected for their cognitive abilities and critical thinking.Typical low paid employee, unable to separate the end result from the method. As the man said, what would he do if one were to use manual downshift braking? Someone needs to speak to his supervisor. Obviously a Semi doesn't drive like a motorcycle, both of which are used for licensing at CA DMVs. Teslas are just another type of car. Get used to it before all the ICEs are gone.

Did the examiner put a coffee cup on the dash and explain that if it spills on them, you fail? :-DIt seems the examiner was unhappy with the rapid deceleration typical with regen-braking.
Daughter explained this, but nonetheless, ride was too harsh for comfort.
She did not fail because of "auto-braking", even though that was the reason given.
She failed because the ride was too rough.
Try again with 100% battery so there is no regen-braking.
Or better, lightly taper foot from accelerator to negate the regen-braking effect when coasting / slowing down.
Rather like driving an ICE car in second gear.. if you simply remove your foot from the gas, the car rapidly decelerates.
But if you drag your foot off, you can smoothen the ride.
Driving smoothly will allow her to pass the test.
Alternatively you can try complaining to the supervisor, but you already have a taste of how that is likely to go.
