Low Regen mode coming back?

I find I can do smoother stops with roll. I gave one-pedal a good long try to get used to it, but my stops were just never quite as smooth. My wife is very sensitive to motion sickness, one-pedal was not good for her as a passenger.

Fair enough. I have found just the opposite, but will admit that it took me several days to get used to full one-pedal driving. Now that I've done so, I would never want to go back. I find it extremely smooth. Admittedly, it would be nice to be able to occasionally adjust my foot's position without decelerating, though if my foot has been in one position long enough to need an adjustment, I'm probably on the highway and using AP, in which case a position adjustment would not result in deceleration.

How so? Are they jerky or maybe the stop point is misjudged? Its learning that gradually lifting off the accelerator is like gradually applying brakes. People say "getting used to", where it is actually "learning how to".

A little bit of both I guess. I gave it a good go for a few weeks. It was 'fine' but never quite as good as roll for me. I love regen in general, and it fits in nicely with my 'manual transmission' brain, but still prefer the final decl to be with the friction brakes.

Getting rid of roll as an option makes no sense. Since kinetic energy goes as v^2 the extra energy you recover with regen down to 0 mph vs 5 mph is basically a rounding error. I personally prefer roll to one-pedal, would hate to give it up.

this decision boggles my mind. I did a demo drive of a new 3 and was forced into 1 pedal driving and the slow speed maneuvering is way worse with the car always trying to come to a complete stop. Free rolling under 5mph is so much better and I have no idea why they don't let the driver choose anymore. Between removal of roll and lack of stalks in the new 3 I've decided to not upgrade from a 2018 when I had plans to.
