Coming from sticks as well, my issue with creep is when the car doesn’t have enough power to get over a small bump or lip (like a garage or driveway or inching into a parking spot on a slope), which requires a slight jab of the accelerator, then when the car gets over the hump, it creeps and I have to jump to the brake.
I would bet people have pressed the park button by accident to clean the windshield. Symmetry.
Very good grab of the facts, yes, I don't consider myself as losing my mind yet, but also have no trouble admitting to myself and consciously remember I made a mistake however brief. I know the button is exactly the same for both, albeit one is on the right and one is on the left. Looking at the button perhaps for gratification verses muscle memory of location. We love these cars(at least I do) in my world it keeps me busy and engaged even on autopilot with the process of driving. But I have noticed at times, it can get real busy. This car is not for those who do not like to engage with the car. As has been said "This car, is a thinking persons car". Not great for many.
Because they weren’t pressing the brake pedal until the very end, they were pressing the accelerator.
Yes it does and especially if your using the go/whoa one pedal to solve everything. The whoa "part" is a by product to return energy to the battery, there is another pedal "the brake" which at all times is your to go to pedal to get out of situations where slowing, stopping and staying stopped are important.
Yep, people need to retrain their brain, and it may take a few days to a week. Personally, I think those folks who used sticks may have an advantage adapting, because I used engine braking all the time, so having the regeneration kick in when off-throttle seems fairly normal to me.
The car is designed for the human to supercede all commands as we (should) know best. If we put our foot on the accelerator, despite the sensor's information, a Tesla will assume the driver has intentions that the vehicle dare not interfere with. They are not autonomous yet, and they are not in charge.
Yes, I have to back up to a concrete wall to park/charge and it is at a slight incline grade. In a manual you can "feather" the clutch but in the 3 (EV's) the torque is so accelerator touch instant that it is impossible to accurately and and safely do. Would be happy with a geo fence that cut Creep off but need it to park/charge.
The problem for me is it is an incline. Let off the accelerator and it rolls forward before i can hit the brake. Hit the accelerator and it is hard to modulate from forward roll to slow reverse when you are 12" from a wall. Creep just makes it so easy to just worry about the distance and nothing else.
