Total overreach. I go from one pedal driving on my EV to my manual 5 speed 2004 Saab on a regular basis. I've been doing this for 6.5 years. I'm really glad nobody has been telling me that I can't do it.
- amanaplanacanal 1y agoIt sounds like it's driven by safety concerns: > In 2024, a new energy vehicle brand conducted a user survey, revealing that 32% of car owners had mistakenly used the accelerator pedal as the brake pedal in emergencies, with 15% resulting in accidents. > A simulation test by Tsinghua University's Automotive Safety Laboratory also showed that drivers accustomed to the one-pedal mode had an average reaction time 0.3 seconds longer when pressing the brake pedal in an emergency, equivalent to an additional braking distance of 8.3 meters at 100 km/h.

- dzhiurgis 1y agoGoing from EV to automatic is nothing special, but to manual I found I subconsciously used engine breaking like EV, occasionally stalling it!
- beAbU 1y agoI learned to drive on a manual car, and all my cars were manual for the past ~20 years. My current car is an ev/auto. For me the learning curve was remembering to _not_ press the brake with my left foot, thinking it's the clutch when I'm mentally downshifting or stopping. A left foot on the brake thinking it's the clutch is for sure a powerful thing!
