EV discussion - hate or love?

[2kwik4u]

Only briefly on a test drive. Again to be fair, I'm sure it's implemented differently in each make. I'm more commenting on the people who claim to only use OPD. They may be full of it, or maybe they're just super annoying and/or dangerous drivers. I dunno.

I have gone weeks without touching the brake pedal. Hell, I did two full days of medium level off roading and didn't touch the brake pedal. I've also hustled a Model 3 up/down the Mt Lemon roads outside Tucson, AZ at 7-8/10 effort, without touching the brakes.

Here, check out this video. I did the same descent without touching the brake pedal. Should explain both one pedal driving and the falsely understood "fake off road" comment from earlier.

There's nothing annoying, or dangerous, about OPD.

I can just see someone who's totally used to OPD not paying attention while they drive, looking up from their phone and seeing a kid in the road, panicking and taking their foot off the throttle and just hoping for the best. Think of all the stories of stupid people spilling hot coffee, eating tide pods, etc and tell me it isn't plausible.

The people who would do this are the same ones who mistake the gas and brake pedal in ICE vehicles and drive through storefronts. There are abject morons amongst us - OPD or not.

How come when I read this all I hear in my head is Naughty by Nature “You down with OPD, yeah you know me”!

I keep trying to ignore this thread but I just can’t. Gotta see how one EV nerd is gonna insult the other EV nerd.

More like a bunch of EV nerds against a bunch of curmudgeons afraid of difference.
