It does. See Brake Hold is one of the coolest features nobody talks aboutI am thinking maybe the model 3 does not have auto Hold with a strong press at the brake pedal?
Hi Guys, new tesla owner here. I was in park and as soon as I changed to reverse my car went forward almost hitting the wall. I had to go back to park and reverse 2 times before it worked how I was expecting it too(roll back). Has anyone experienced this in their car? I read a few cars have gone through this and supposedly this is normal. Any recommendations to avoid crashing?
I have had this happen a few times and its scarry.......
I am terrified of the reverse gear causing the Tesla to move forward and hitting the anoither car in the parking lot. Not sure how to handle this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to have your foot on the brake in order to shift from park to reverse.Assuming you Creep Mode set to OFF, I think the likely explanation for what you describe is that the Tesla drivetrain does not behave the same way an ICE car transmission does and your car moved forward because it was on a slope but you weren’t aware of it. Let me explain:
In a Tesla, when you go from Park to Reverse or Drive, with Creep Mode OFF, if your foot is not on the brake and you are not applying sufficient pressure to the accelerator pedal to cause the car to move the car will behave as if it is in neutral. That means that if the road (or your driveway) has enough slope the car will start to roll.
If Creep Mode is set to ON in that scenario the car will move backwards unless the slope is to much for the car to overcome with no pressure on the accelerator pedal.
I am willing to bet that when you went from park to reverse your foot was not on the brake (which is not safe driving practice) and you were not applying pressure to the accelerator AND you were not on level ground.
So far you have not told us if Creep was on or off at the time of the incident you describe nor have you told us if you were on level ground or on a slope.
I use this all the time at traffic lights. One of my favorite features.

Anyway, I turned Creep back on. I don’t see any positives driving without creep mode and when it’s off it just adds more workload when maneuvering in tight spaces.
It happened to me today. Came out from grocery store with my kids, I put in reverse, slightly hit "gas" pedal and my car went forward. I went back and forward between park and reverse try to backup multiple times, it did not work until I rebooted it the screen. It sure creeped hell out of me.

That’s interesting. Drive functions are controlled by a separate computer, so I’m not sure how or why rebooting the touch screen would change anything.
