creep, roll, hold. What is your fav setting?

[UncertainTimes]

Condolences to the 5 of you using creep

me 'hold'
SWMBO 'creep'

 

[Rothgarr]

I always use use "hold", but I wish there were a hybrid mode to help in parking/backing out of the garage, etc.

For example, "hold" works as is. But if you put your foot on the brake after the car has stopped, it will slowly begin to roll by itself like "creep" as you let off the brake pedal.

The accelerator can be very touchy sometimes if you are only trying to move a few inches, that's why I sometimes miss the traditional method from all my past ICE cars (at the least the ones that didn't have a manual transmission).

I thought that would be an issue prior to getting my car, but I have had no issue applying a little bit of pressure to move inches at a time. I use standard, but maybe you could try chill to help with that.

Hold doesn’t apply friction brakes until the car is completely stopped; you can feel and hear when it triggers if the stereo is off.

I find that hard to believe but I haven't put much testing to it as i didn't like the mode. Either way, free roll under 5pmh for me.

 

[holmgang]

Same as rothgarr.

Hold for general driving. Roll for going very slowly like going down steep slopes, where I prefer to let gravity pull the car and modulate speed with brakes. The auto brake-hold engages too quickly if using throttle.

 

[Sukhshanti]

hold mode FTW! Just remember which car you are driving if you are like me and drive an ICE vehicle from time to time. It's all fun and games until you plow into someone's bumper.

Hold doesn’t engage until you come to a complete stop, if it’s doing something else, you might want to get it checked out.

woah. I am so surprised pretty much everyone use hold.

I believe it uses some braking as it rolls to a stop. Not much though. I used to be a creeper.

Do you have evidence to support this?

I have never seen any, and there is a fair amount of evidence that it is only using regen.

I came from a LEAF S so Hold was an easy adaptation. I would only want to use Hold mode. Love it. I don't ever want to use 'creep', so it's aptly-named.

 

[GenralSpecific]

Hold for sure, but what does @UncleCreepy use?
Inquiring minds want to know!

You can turn the stereo system off?

edit: Voted the only choice in the poll: hold

Hold FTW. Let’s not recreate bad behavior from ICE engines.

In fact, the opposite trend seems to be increasingly popular - ICE vehicles are now coming with “automatic vehicle hold” features that hold the brake for you.

Mercedes had brake hold long before Tesla was around, they just rarely get credit for their innovation.

Because regen approaches zero as you stop. To get a clean stop it has to use the breaks.

Hold = Heaven

Whatever the mechanism, the vehicle comes to immediate stop when you release the Accel, from a slow crawl speed. Crawl up or down a steep slopes and you'll see. Point is in these situations I prefer to ride and feather the brakes as it provides a better modulation (more range of pedal travel and pressure/resistance)

Defo Hold, makes driving so much easier

Is there any question which mode Hodor uses?
