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

[coolmanfever]

hello. I have been using creep mode since I purchase model 3 last year. Now I am trying to get used to hold mode. What is your favorite go to setting and why?

I started with creep because easier transition from ICE to EV car. Then now trying hold to get more regen braking.

Hold man!

Why? Once it stop without using the brakes it holds. No More foot tension.

i started with roll, since it reminded me of the manual transmission feel. switched immediately to hold when it came out and never went back. Though I will say it took a bit more time to get used to, since maneuvering out of a garage at slow speeds now required active accelerator use, rather than having it "roll" around.

I tried creep once. It was creepy.

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.

When your choices were creep or roll, I can see how some people would prefer one or the other. Because neither is perfect, reasonable people can disagree on which is less bad.

But once they introduced hold, having multiple options seems like an unnecessary complication. Hold is the correct setting. No need for any of the other choices.

Hold! Tried roll for the first week but switched quickly. As a bonus you get additional regen

Hold. End of story.

Creep till I got comfortable with the Tesla, now I keep it set to hold. 1PDFTW

When I was first test driving the car, I was using creep.

Now, hold all day everyday until this car dies.

Hold - no other option works for me. It's one of the best things about the car.

Most lopsided poll in the history of TMC - no surprise, actually.

 

[Mattopotamus]

Hold and it is not even close. It is probably my favorite part of driving the car. I use it every second.

Same. Coming from driving MT For years. Got used to Hold very quickly and enjoy it.

Yep. 100%

roll for me, I like regen but I don't want the car putting the brakes on for me for that last bit. I found myself having to modulate the car braking so I like it free rolling under 5mph.

Same here; I like as much regen as possible, but not at the expense of the car putting on the brakes. Also, I want to keep using the brakes to maintain muscle memory. Don’t want my reaction to an emergency situation to be ‘pull your foot off the throttle’ cause I’m use to 1-pedal driving.

Hold wasn't an option when I first bought my tesla. Roll has a few attributes that I miss (ie easier low speed control) but hold prevents you from rolling backwards inadvertently. Hold is the best and offers true one foot driving.

The hold function was my last "wanted to have function" that I was hoping for. One of the best features of driving an i3 and now makes one pedal driving a reality on Teslas.

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.
