Is personal preference the main reason to use one-pedal driving (1PD)? Could stopping distance be a reason?

use 1-p mode, 'unbridled', to obtain maximum regen.... and leave on the 'auto-hold' setting which will automatically blend in the mechanical pads to come to a stop. saves on brake pads and recaptures the most energy.

1PD does this automatically, otherwise it wouldn't be 1PD, you don't need to have auto hold on.

I feel like you're confused about some aspects about how your car operates.

For me, it depends on the comfort of driving and sitting. I just feel uncomfortable with 1pd, especially when I sit in the back seat. But after personal experience, the 1pd of mach-e is more comfortable than tesla 1pd.

I had my first backseat passengers yesterday. With 1PD on they said it felt like being in a Boston taxi; with it off, like riding in a funeral home limo.

Hopefully I will get better at pedal modulation as I do more of it. After 60 years of 2PD there’s a lot of unlearning t o do.

the mach-e takes a steady and delicate foot.... pedal response and huge torque both on and off accelerator make it 'touchy', but that's a good thing once you are used to it!

My Ford salesman was usually nauseous after each ride-along test drive with the dealer's Mach-E. He now makes sure that 1PD is off.

Tried 1 pd.... It is great for downhill. For regular driving - it is pain. I think that by using medium drive mode, keeping distance, to minimize the use of breaks and proper usage of regenerative breaks could provide the same efficiency as 1pd
