If you ever need anyone to go out and run the engine on the Ferrari please let me know. I live just a few minutes away....

Many EV drivers, probably most, adapt to and like "one pedal" driving. I know my wife does and she is not an "early adopter". You certainly can use two pedals, you just have to dial back the regen, which you've probably already done, which should result in something much closer to the ICE driving experience that you would like. You can turn Creep ON also which also gets it closer to the ICE experience.
Having the brake pedal do regen and friction braking is a reasonable idea that would fully integrate the EV regen benefits with the ICE driving experience. That said, it doesn't make my top 10 list of where Tesla should put engineering resources. So we all have our wish lists!

Yeah, that attitude is going to do wonders for Elon's vision of pervasive electric vehicles. Sheesh.

Certainly not the manual transmission experience, which has been the majority of my (ICE) driving.
I'm so sorry that you find it tough dealing with the realities of driving an EV when your mindset is stuck on driving ICE vehicles. the dynamics of the EV should not and cannot be ignored.

I certainly wouldn't put it in those words. Elon's vision probably didn't include being stuck with last century's state of mind. I saw a picture today (can't remember what website) that was in NYC in 1900 where everyone was transported with a horse and buggy except there was a sole car in this picture. Ahhh... found it.
The math, and evidence all around you, that shows shared autonomous vehicles powered by solar power and batteries are inevitable
Thirteen years later it was just the opposite. Point being many years from now, one pedal driving will be the norm along with autonomous vehicles.

You're absolutely right! I don't think an EV can get anywhere near a manual transmission ICE experience. I've owned many of those and that is a different world.

Agree. Sometimes when I'm coasting on regen I still want to be able to downshift. Argh.

This is where the i3 is really great. It has very strong regen and the regen doesn't taper off as the car slows the way it does in the MS. The i3 has real "one pedal" driving, where as the MS always requires the friction brakes for the last 5 yards.
To get back onto topic. My cars at the service center got the Tuesday update right before I dropped it off and today I received a notification of another update. I don't have the car so have no idea what was updated but did anyone else receive two updates this week? And yes I've done all previous updates.

And to take us back off topic - I agree on the MT thing. Just picked up a GT4 to complement the P85D. Best of both worlds!

I find it ironic that you would even say that given where you live. With constant stop and go traffic and handbraking on hills, that would get old very fast for me. Twice as bad if you don't even have some type of hydraulic clutch.
Mine has always shown "22:00". Take a look at Settings::Language & Format::Time Format

Is it my imagination, or has the alert for auto-steer turning off gone from fairly subtle to "brassy"? My car made a sound at me
today that I've never heard before -- still three "beeps", but the "beeps" had an un-Tesla-like nagging tone to them.

Was this the "red" TAKE OVER IMMEDIATELY alert? If so, it has probably been that way for a while. I got that on my test drive 2 weeks ago and it was a similarly naggy Subway Oven tone.

Perhaps. Maybe I just hadn't gotten into that exact "Danger, Will Robinson!!" situation before.

And after 141 reports for 2.18.77 (about a third of what I'd expect for a "full" roll-out - but both of my cars got that build) we just got the first two reports for 2.18.91
