Thanks! I actually drive with both ECON and B modes all the time. So when I take ECON off it feels like I got 'turbo'. I love B mode so I brake less. I'm sure ICEs behind me don't really enjoy it. Ha.It has a 'Valet' mode to turn down acceleration, but that's for a different purpose.
On the Tesla, Regenerative Braking Mode is always on - I don't know why the Leaf has an option to turn that off. Supposedly so that people who come from an ICE doesn't have a jarring experience, but it takes 2 hours to get used to and then it's actually better.
I'm relatively new to the Tesla world and coming from a Leaf. Do current Teslas have an "Econ" mode that tones down the acceleration profile or "B"/Regerative braking mode? Is it even needed or would be in the M3? Just a curious thought.
Good call!Couple decent answers so far but you'd get a lot more info out of the model S/X sections.
The Leaf doesn't turn regen off, it just changes how aggressive it is (i.e., whether it applies any time you let your foot off the gas, or only when you apply the brakes). It annoys me that the default is brake only, and I have to change it to "B" mode every time I start the car.
Yep - the brake lights activate.Does the MS's (or MX's) brake lights activate when using the higher regen mode? OR even in the lower mode?
Haha - I know that the folks behind me in my test drive of the Model S must have enjoyed my erratic acceleration. I'm sure I'll get used to it once I get the car. Just a matter of time for my Model 3...It's fun to drive behind someone who obviously just picked up their first Model S. It's like they're driving with their foot on the brake and accelerator at the same time .
Doesn't take long before you change habits and "ease" of the accelerator instead.
As someone who had a Leaf and now has a Model S, I really don't think you'll need an eco mode. The difference in range between the two cars is greater than it appears on paper. The extra range is so much greater that the emotional distress of Range Anxiety in the Leaf is all but gone. There have been only two occasions I can recall where I ever had that nagging feeling of range anxiety, which I felt almost weekly in the Leaf.I'm relatively new to the Tesla world, coming from a Leaf, a M3 reservation holder and originally posted this in the M3 section but wanted to get feedback from current MS owners or people in the know: Do current Teslas have an "Econ" mode that tones down the acceleration profile or "B"/Regenerative braking mode? Is the ability to turn off these modes needed? Thanks!
@ngnphoto depending on what you're trying to accomplish there are various settings in the Model S.
The main thing that bothered me about Eco mode on the Leaf is that I never felt like I'd have the power needed to accelerate myself out of an accident. It felt like I was putting myself into some amount of danger to electronically limit the car in a way that I could replicate by just driving more efficiently.
