1 pedal driving used to be smooth

Possibly the brake pads/discs have bedded in and are now performing correctly, whereas when new they might not have been operating at full efficiency.

I’m struggling to get a smooth stop too but I think it is probably me not the car.

I always use one pedal (even on the highway) and could never live without it. Do not suffer from not being able to slow down smoothly. Recently drove a "normal" car and that almost went completely wrong, because it did not stop by itself.

I have always prided myself on a smooth stop , with a manual gearbox I would always come to a halt without any brake pressure, easing off the brakes just before the car stopped . It became so natural to do but almost impossible with an auto gearbox . With the one pedal driving it is more of a challenge, again it is a matter of getting almost totally off the accelerator but still having a little pressure on there as it comes to a halt. It is much more difficult to master than with a manual gearbox.

That's how I've driven manual ICE cars for decades.Alan G wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 11:47 am I have always prided myself on a smooth stop , with a manual gearbox I would always come to a halt without any brake pressure, easing off the brakes just before the car stopped .

As we've discovered it's not so easy with the one pedal option, especially when coming to a halt on an incline. Coming to a halt whilst having slight pressure on the pedal ends up with the car either rolling forwards or backwards (depending on the incline), and then the mad panic of a quick release ends up in a jerky stop. It's a lot easier coming to a smooth halt not using the one pedal option in hilly areas.

I don't know why people are so excited with the 1 pedal driving. I don't like it, it makes my foot more tired having to put pressure all the time, even on a downhill. And especially when parking it is a nightmare. People seeing me parking think that I don't know how to drive..... + all the brake lights coming on all the time you lift too much your foot. So annoying if you are the car behind.
I never us 1 pedal driving because of this. There is a misconception that regen works only when you lift off your foot from the gas pedal. It works when you push the brake pedal, just look at the green indicator infront of you on the right. That is the proof that regen works. For long downhills you can then use the paddles to control your speed and rest your feet.
