I had 1PD on for a few weeks, but for my driving style it just didn't work. It always felt like I had to concentrate on feathering the accelerator just right, otherwise I'd have to hit the brake at the last second anyway. It's most definitely "me" and the way I drive (I might be an aggressive driver), but too often I switched to the brake anyway. For many years I drove stick and often let the engine slow me down, but for some reason the 1 pedal drive was just less natural for me. Maybe I'm too old or something as the last time I drove stick was 2012 when I gave my son my 2nd mustang. With 1PD it also made switching to my wife's ICE annoying as well (I'm not putting dirty crap from Lowe's in the Mache E).I never realized that OPD was not universally loved before joining this forum. I've had it in two different BMW i3s and both my wife and I would not drive any other way. In fact, we eliminated any EVs without OPD as contenders for our next vehicle. (VW ID.4, I'm looking at you.)
So it's been interesting to see other viewpoints on this. And nothing wrong with that, of course, I think one of the best things about the MME is that it gives you the option to turn it on and off *and* it has the L button.
I settled on unbridled with 1PD off so I get some deceleration around curves or approaching a red light, but use the brake pedal to finish the job.
