Tesla Newbie Guide: How to Drive a Tesla! Stopping Modes and One-Pedal Driving!

New to Teslas? Thinking of renting or buying one? A Tesla doesn't drive like a regular car, they require one-pedal driving for maximum regenerative braking. This video shows you how to one-pedal drive and I explain the differences between creep, roll, and hold stopping modes. I'm driving a 2021 Model Y.

The videos in the Tesla How-To series are the first videos I ever filmed, so I apologize for the quality.

This is a new channel! I plan to post weekly videos. Please subscribe!

Thanks for watching!

From Tesla's website:
Creep: When close to, or at, a complete stop, the motor continues to apply torque, moving Model Y slowly forward (in Drive) or backwards (in Reverse), similar to a conventional vehicle with an automatic transmission. In some situations, such as on a steep hill or driveway, you may need to press the accelerator pedal to continue moving or to prevent Model Y from moving in the opposite direction.

Hold: Maximizes range and reduces brake wear by continuing to provide regenerative braking at speeds lower than with the Creep and Roll settings. When Model Y stops, the brakes are automatically applied without you having to put your foot on the brake pedal. Whether stopped on a flat surface or a hill, Vehicle Hold keeps the brake applied, provided your foot remains off the accelerator and brake pedals.

Roll: When close to, or at, a complete stop, Model Y becomes free rolling like a vehicle in Neutral. Therefore, if stopped on a slope, Model Y will roll downward. The brake does not engage, and the motor does not apply torque (until the accelerator pedal is pressed).
