1. I’ve only had my X for 6 days. Stoplight on a hill. HONK, HONK. The car behind me had noticed that I was rolling backwards into her vehicle. I stopped in time but was shaken. I haven’t had a car without backward roll prevention in 20 years!!
2. Eighty mile drive home from the dealer when picking up my X. Stop and go California rush hour traffic. I stop behind the car in front of me and relax--foot off accelerator. All of a sudden I need to brake again-- the X on its own desires to creep forward!! Unnerving. I learned there is a option to turn off creep. Who wants a car to move without driver command? Creep, brake; creep, brake. Who wants to drive that way?
I had an i3. A hoot to drive. True one-pedal driving. When you backed off on accelerator it braked to the point of a full stop and would not roll forward or back unless you pressed on the accelerator or put the car in reverse. Rarely had to touch the brake in traffic. Seemed much safer. Anyway are these driving characteristics curable--especially the roll-back on hills?
