Quick question

[rincewind]

If I bring the model 3 to a halt by using the brakes in the last few yards, will the brakes stay on? Sounds a saft question I know, but picking up the M3P on Monday so would be good to know. I won't be using the 'HOLD' mode btw (not yet anyway)

Hold (the brakes keeping the car in hold when stopped) can be turned on in any of the driving modes- but requires more force on the pedal to engage if you're in creep mode.

Creep mode: hard press when stopped turns on hold
Roll mode: light press when stopped turns on hold
Hold mode: Hold autoengages if the car rolls/regens itself to a stop, or acts like roll mode if you manually stop it with brake pedal

'Roll mode: light press when stopped turns on hold'.

So, if I've already brought the car to a halt by using the brakes, do I have to take my foot off the brake and re press the brake to engage Hold?

No, just press a little bit once stopped and you'll see the H on the display to indicate you are in hold. It's quite natural.

The speedometer when you come to a stop will either display 0 or H. If it displays 0 and you are stopped, you will need to press the brake to engage brake hold.

Brake hold can be disengaged by either pressing a second time or by pressing the accelerator.

Thanks all. I updtaed last night and the update applied the 'Hold' option for regen. I love it! Didn't think I would but it's excellent. Even easier and smoother to drive now.
