Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

[Iguy]

I’m with a number of others on this, the best is a combination of these. One pedal driving with adjustable regen levels and an option for non-one pedal driving.

But in the end, most of these are a fine implementation, as long as the motor and friction brakes blend well. The calibration here is critical! It must be seamless.

Personally, I want it to feel as close to a non EV as possible. Let off the "gas" and the truck will coast to a stop and I use the brake pedal as I would in any other vehicle. I recently test drove a Cyberbeast, and the way the truck felt like I was applying the brake, when I let off the gas, was awful and is enough that if it ends up feeling like that, I wont buy it at all.

I agree with this sentiment. What you experienced was One-Pedal-Driving and unfortunately Tesla comes with that on as default. Some people love it but I'm with you, it feels wrong and I prefer not having it. Luckily it's not something that is required for EVs. Hyundai (and Kia) for example give you different options for how you want your vehicle to decelerate when you ease off the accelerator. They have a one pedal driving mode but you can also set it to just coast or have gentle deceleration as you would feel with an automatic transmission. The nice thing about EVs is that it's all something that can be customized in software so I'm hoping Scout does the Hyundai thing and not the Tesla thing.

This shows why multiple options are needed, I actually test drove a Cybertruck while I was getting my car inspected a few weeks ago and I liked the way it drove. It was a bit different to my model 3, maybe a little firmer on the regen but once I got used to it I liked it. It actually drove really well, it's a shame how it looks, along with other issues I have around range etc. for the type of truck that it is. I'm sure with how it drove, if it could do 350+ miles on a charge and looked more like a normal pickup truck it would have sold much better.
