Model Y fails driving license road test over FSD and regen braking as examiners mull banning Teslas altogether

[Redaktion]

There is a growing number of Model Y and other electric vehicles on US roads, and the number of driving license tests with them would only be increasing, but state authorities don't seem ready for the change.

Of course if you drive a performance car around in like 1st gear (including with manual shifting on an automatic) you absolutely will get intense engine breaking and 1 pedal driving.

So they either need to specify to NOT use 1 pedal driving during the test (since, like mirrors, one should know how to adjust this), or allow using it during tests.

Government agencies unable to adapt to the times? Who could've guessed?

Could this article be any more fake. There are so many teslas out there.

I could imagine, say, a kid trying to get their license and using a car with tons of smart driving features that does some of the driving for them, that it doesn't translate to other cars. Maybe they've only ever driven their parent's Tesla. For instance, a car rental... If said kid doesn't know how to drive a "regular" car, that could be problematic. I don't know how much I'd trust them of the road. Drivers, I feel, are only getting worse on the road and it's like they don't actually know how to drive.

Maybe the road testing officers need to be re-tested?

And here I am trying to figure out the impact on the muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the right leg while one pedal driving long term. Driving already screws up our hips and low backs.

Did you even read the article? The very first line states "there are a growing number of model Y and other electric vehicles on the road" so how is this article fake?

I own a tesla for a year now. Nothing wrong with it. Some of the media is paid to bash companies like tesla for multiple reasons. Ask any tesla owner how they like their car. Don't listen to media at all. In fact, I'm surprised I can even leave a comment here. Kudos to the site for giving us a voice to respond. My Tesla car is great and has no road or break problems.

Don't set on hold mode set on creep mode it will let you break like ice car,

"In the US, however, road tests are much easier as most DMV test centers allow a driving license candidate to take the exam in their own cars that they will most likely be driving from then on anyway."

In Aystralia most people will have their test in their own car, but if that happens to be an automatic, then your licence only allows driving automatics.

But who cares about learning manaul 'stick shift' anymore when it is a legacy technology unneeded for EVs. Its dead.

Just to set the scene Europe and Australia both require log books of time driven by both parents and professional drivers of at least one hundred hours before the test day. Then they will drive for 30 minutes covering a range of driving abilities. It says it all just to focus on braking as a failure of the test

Not really, that might he the case in some countries but not in all of Europe. Educate yourself before answering. Also in some countries you can use your own car for the test

A friend just paid over €600 for a week of car rental in Italy, compared to €70 for me, because they couldn't drive manual and no cheaper automatic was available. Tell me more about who cares to learn driving manual.

Wait until you discover that the world is larger than Australia, the US, and the UK. Take a look: https://www.google.com/maps

Lol.
