or DC. setting on 1 does not provide a close enough setting here either.
TOTALLY agree!

Getting my Model 3 next week, how hard is it to adjust to regenerative brake? If you take your foot off, does the car stop immediately or slowly?
If you’ve driven a manual transmission proficiently, it’ll be a smooth, immediate transition - it’s just like down-shifting, but without the stick and the clutch.
Otherwise, YMMV, as the saying goes.

Google zipper merge. It’s the recommended way now.
Zackly. There haven’t been tons of Teslas around here but the number is ticking up rapidly of late. The other day I pulled away from a stoplight and was mildly freaked to notice the person next to me keeping pace. First reaction, some kid wanting to race? (I do not floor it out of a light, I just pull out, but as you all know that leaves pretty much every ICE driver well behind without even trying.) But on checking, no, it was just another Model S also pulling out sedately (for a Model S).I've been wondering what will happen when there are more EVs on the road, and both drivers in a situation think they're going to jump in front of the other. Boom boom cwash cwash.
I find that EAP makes me a lot calmer when I drive. Before I would be so annoyed if I wasn't going 80+ mph, but now I set EAP at 70 mph and I just sit back and relax. Doesn't matter if cars cut in front of me, EAP will take care of it.I have to admit to finding it extremely amusing that so many folks enable EAP/Autosteer but insist on micro-managing the follow distance.
Even funnier is the outrage at people cutting “in front”.
It’s just traffic and you’re not going to be that much slower overall just because some cars pull into the gap you leave.
It gets annoying when you get cut off like 5 times in a minute. It’s not about slower or not. It’s just too many cars getting in front of you and then having to worry and needing to step inI have to admit to finding it extremely amusing that so many folks enable EAP/Autosteer but insist on micro-managing the follow distance.

My attitude changed about when people cut in front of me.I realiz ed that if 10 people cut in front, then I will only be delayed for the time it takes for 10 vehicles to pass my spot.
Perhaps only 10 seconds or so getting to my destination.
I stopped being so competitive and began to really enjoy the ride.
I think this could be helped a lot by making TACC less aggressive about slamming on the brakes to make room. Humans tend to coast more in reacting to being cut off. In addition to acting as a disincentive for the next three cars planning to cut you off, it is less uncomfortable and unsafe feeling to the TACC driver.I have to admit to finding it extremely amusing that so many folks enable EAP/Autosteer but insist on micro-managing the follow distance.

Maybe because drivers in LA will cut in if their car might fit.. .Funny, I don't feel like TACC slams on the brakes when someone gets in front of me. Seems like it generally just lets up on acceleration to allow the space to open up. Could be for any of a number of reasons I guess, including (listed in what I think is order of likelihood):
I'm going with 1 because I do sometimes notice brakes being applied, generally when I'm in low-speed traffic and so the following distance (even at 7) is closed down to just a couple car lengths.
- I have following distance set to 7 so there's more margin for error than if I had it set to 1.
- The drivers in my area are less aggressive than where the complaints are coming from.
- I'm using AP1.
- I'm just not noticing/I don't care.

If you make your passengers (including the driver) black out because of abrupt behavior that's even worse. It's a balance. Obviously.So turns out that AI system in control when the Uber car in AZ ran over the woman had been programmed to make passengers feel better, a less jerky ride at times, by not braking at all if the maneuver was going to exceed a certain fraction of a G. The presence of the pedestrian was detected, about 1.3sec out IIRC, but when that info passed on to the logic deciding what to do about it the outcome decision was "keep on trucking".
Good chance the collision would still have happened but not necessarily at fatal speed.
Please stop to consider the moral consequences of that, for a moment. Of a clear trade-off between "I like the sensation of this ride experience better" against a bystander's life.
