Did VW ever implement one pedal drive? Total non starter for me a few years ago (got a volvo instead).
There’s B mode that will aggressively regenerate, but nowhere close to one pedal. Although I’ve found myself using the adaptive cruise control for no pedal drive
One pedal plus adaptive CC is going to blow your mind. I love it!
One pedal driving is coming this fall in MY2027. I've never had it, so driving in B mode feels good enough to me.
NICE! True one pedal is my favorite and I can't wait for you to also have it too.
They still have a break pedal, if that is what you mean.
Naw one pedal drive is this neat EV feature you can drive with where if you take your foot off the accelerator the car starts to full regentl brake until it stops. Once you use it in a city you realize how much easier a car is to operate when you dont need to swap between pedals a ton. Its also nice because when you do need an aggressive brake, the time moving from pedals has already initiated a deceleration leading to a faster slow down.
Ah that. I like that, as an optional feature
that's fair. I love that my car ties it to the user profile so when others need to drive I can preserve my settings.
