Creep ON or OFF?

[Max*]

Haven't decided yet. I thought coming from a manual I'd love creep off, but during my test drive we stopped on a very small slope, and having the car roll backwards as soon as I let go of the brake was a weird experience... I'm used to 2 foot driving with a stick, but this wasn't a stick!

Creep Mode off.

"Vehicle Hold" works flawlessly when you are on any kind of slope. Easy to engage, even easier to disengage, it is the perfect solution. However, any driver who switches between the Tesla and an automatic transmission car should set her profile to "creep" to avoid confusion.

Creep on as in slow stop and go traffic you can keep the foot on the brake side. With off you have to move all the time back and forth. So it depends where you drive.

I've only ever owned manual transmission ICEs before, so creep will be off for me.

In my garage the ideal parking position for walking around the front of the car, but with enough room to close the door behind it, requires stopping 26 inches before the wall as measured by the ultrasonics. I tried creep off but it's much harder to stop at that exact point with creep off than by feathering the brake with creep on. So it's creep on.

Not if you have autopilot.

I did not know Autopilot would work at bumper to bumper crawl speeds.

I think you have to be going at least 18mph to engage tacc, but it will stay on once on.

That's one of the best times to use it.

Not having idle/creep is actually one of my favorite things about havin an electric car. That and regen braking

And I've only ever owned automatics (but have driven manual a few times to learn) and also have creep off.

As long as there is a car in front of you, you can engage TACC from a standstill.

Ah, 18mph must be autosteer? Or is that a total bs number?

 

[mikeash]

You need to be going 18MPH to engage the system on a clear road. When there's a car in front of you, there's no speed requirement. I've often engaged TACC+Autosteer while waiting at a stop light.

I keep mine on. Honestly, I cant imagine "lightly tapping the accelerator" as I inch closer to a wall. The car has too much power.

Creep On.

If you perform the actual action of "lightly tapping" on the accelerator, I would imagine that is true. I do not tap it, I feather/give it light, constant pressure. I can control the speed very well like this, even maintaining <1 mph to park my car.

That said, you should always do what is most comfortable for you. I'm just saying that tapping would indeed cause the car to jump too far.

Seems like voters are with you, I was actually surprised by the polling outcome. Maybe it's my inability to shed "ICE Syndrome" causes my need for creep

 

[mikeash]

The car has excellent precision in throttle response at low speeds. I have a tight garage, and with very little practice I'm able to position the car to within an inch of where I want it with complete reliability, with creep off. Powerful doesn't have to mean twitchy.

You can activate TACC/Autopilot while standing still if there is a vehicle in front of you.

I think its ultimately personal preference. I have my rear camera up on my screen 24/7 and many Tesla drivers think I am crazy. Thankfully, we each get to choose that setting as well.
