True in the US, but not in Europe. For years, Tesla s
mooth driver should hardly
need the brakes, even in a Prius or early Leaf, both of which have very
limited Regen capabilities.
For the maximum power scenario, a separate braking pedal is still needed.

Anyone who has driven a Ford model T can certainly attest to the challenges of
having all the controls in the "wrong" locations. (OK, the steering wheel is
the same as modern cars; but nothing else).
The early EVs also had considerably different controls. How about tiller
steering? :-)

You're right, Larry, I should be charging big money for these flashes

Hertz is in business to make money. It is a BUSINESS not a government anti
pollution program.
I did not build my 40 foot long Totally Electric Powered Solar (TEPS)tm boat
for sale or rental.
It would never yield a profit that to allow a company to generate enough money
to pay workers, a design t
n give max braking - when used with the (always included)
driver assist package that really, reallydoesn't want you to collide
with the car in front of you.

Oh, I'm not necessarily biased against the vehicles, it's not
arguable that they don't represent the pinnacle of automotive
technology to date. My bias is against the company, which seems to
operate on a very rigid, control-freak centric business plan. That

Ah, but you ~are~ paying extra for those features, even if you don't
