In response to "TWuG! What in the world would cause a Tesla to roll backwards at a stoplight? Some crazy Tesla driver in front of me on the way to work today did it" by oblique

They have it set to "roll" at a stop and it may have been slightly up hill to the light.

There are three settings for at a stop:
-Roll, which allows the car to move with the grade if the brake isn't pressed.
-Creep, which allows the car to move forward slowly if the brake isn't pressed.
-Hold, which keeps the car from moving at all until the accelerator is pressed.

S and X have only had Hold as an option for a year or so, since the last refresh, I think. Starting this year Hold will be the only option on the 3 and Y.

The roll and creep options were there to help ease ICE drivers into the change to EV by replicating the experience of manual and automatic transmissions.

Interesting. Thanks. Last thing I needed this week was a Tesla rolling into me :) -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 07:28 1
- I'm glad they're removing the other options from new vehicles. - TWuG Jan 19, 07:31
