That! I still think that creep should be removed as an option and be on by default. A lot safer
Luckily Tesla don't agree with you! Not having to deal with a creeping transmission is one of the best things about an EV!

Ah, yes, I misread your post. But my opinion stays, I think creep off is just dangerous. People do not know it is in D and can suddenly accelerate.
With creep on you need to keep your foot on the brake.
But it wouldn't accelerate on its own and D is right there on the center screen.People do not know it is in D and can suddenly accelerate.

One thing I'm really looking forward to in a Tesla is the ability to drive slowly and evenly in stop and go traffic.
It's like car fires. Non-Teslas catch on fire all the time. Only Teslas make the international news.
It's the fact that it's a Tesla that makes it into the news, not anything inherently Tesla related.
Didn’t read 8 pages but obviously creep mode on if you have ANY ice cars in your family.
There’s a benefit to keep things consistent.
This is the same reason I turned creep back on. I couldn't work out the finesse necessary to manoever at low speed without using creep.I always have creep ON. It is safer in a tight parking spots than trying to control finer movements through foot and accelerator. Also in stop and go traffic it allows one foot driving using just brake pedal which is less stressful and safer.
Yes.What happens when your brakes have brake hold (as mine does) and it's in creep mode, and you remove your foot from the brake? I would assume it will stay in brake hold until the accelerator pedal is pushed.
I find it easier to control the car at very slow speeds with Creep OFF. When I bought my first Tesla in 2013 I turned Creep OFF within a few days of taking delivery and have never used it since.I always have creep ON. It is safer in a tight parking spots than trying to control finer movements through foot and accelerator. Also in stop and go traffic it allows one foot driving using just brake pedal which is less stressful and safer.
Additionally, as the OP says, if you let go of the brake pedal you quickly have an indication of which 'gear' the car is.
