Tesla has no brake pedal.

And a "single pedal" mode is used. In new energy electric vehicles, many automobile brands have adopted single pedal braking technology; The so-called single pedal mode simply means that you can start, accelerate and decelerate (brake) only by controlling the pedal of the electric door. In this mode, kinetic energy recovery can not only save electricity, but also reduce the use of brakes and improve the cruising range of electric vehicles. That is, a throttle and a brake.

When you refuel, the car runs very fast, but as soon as you release the throttle, you can immediately feel that the car slows down very quickly, even without driving; Because the single pedal mode is used in new energy vehicles, there is so-called kinetic energy recovery. Kinetic energy recovery means that when you don't step on the accelerator, you can recover the energy you walk and then charge it back.

Precautions for single pedal mode:

The single pedal mode has greatly changed the driver's operating habits. If you have no driving experience of new energy vehicles or motor vehicles before, it is recommended to use them under the training of old drivers.

In principle, when the vehicle releases the accelerator pedal, the regenerative braking system will start to work, recover the kinetic energy of the vehicle and reduce the speed. At this time, energy recovery mainly depends on the delay of driving motor. The forward rotation of the motor can drive the vehicle forward, and the reverse rotation can be used as generator energy storage.

In this way, the vehicle can fully recover energy during driving, improve cruising range, reduce the number and intensity of braking, reduce the burden of hydraulic braking, and extend the service life of friction plates to a certain extent.
