I totally get sea sick unless the boat is really moving and inhale the wind in my face. Hopefully it’s just take a bit to get used to in the Electrall (BEV).
So it’s my poor driving and not my carI’ll let my wife know.

This is why I loved the regeneration paddles on my ELR (Volt) steering wheel…To be clear, regen braking is not the same as one pedal driving. What you seem to be referring to is one pedal driving, which is essentially equivalent to always hitting the brakes whenever you take your foot off the gas, which leads to that heightened opportunity for motion sickness. This was introduced because Tesla/elon couldn’t be bothered to smoothly blend regen braking with physical braking, so they sold everyone on one pedal driving and told everyone that was the only to regenerate electricity from the unwanted inertia of the car. Sadly, much of the rest of industry just followed that example like sheep, just like they did with removing buttons and proper door handles for no reason.
Properly understood, regen is just like an “electric brake”, that can feed energy back to the battery, and properly implemented, a driver never has to think about it, just use the gas and brakes as we’ve been using them for a century, while the system figures out the most efficient and effective way to slow the car in accordance with the force applied to the brake pedal.
In any case, for those who like it, it’s easily controlled by software, so those who like it can have it, and those of us who despise it with every fiber of our being (and prefer not to make our passengers nauseous) need never be bothered with it. I have faith that scout will provide that kind of flexibility as well as a decent implementation of blended braking (right, @Jamie@ScoutMotors ?)
In my humble opinion, of course
This is exactly correct. Real car brands, like Hyundai and even Nissan have figured out how to seamlessly blend regen and friction brakes on the brake pedal, something Tesla still hasn't been able to figure out (probably because Elon is distracted by dumb robots and seems to have gotten bored with the whole car thing.)To be clear, regen braking is not the same as one pedal driving.

Mini Cooper calls it "regenerative braking" and there is a toggleswitch on the dashboard that lets you turn it off or on. I turn it on all the time since it gives me much better range.To be clear, regen braking is not the same as one pedal driving.

Mini Cooper has three Regenerative settings. 1) Coast (No regenerative) 2) Medium 3) High. It does not have one-pedal driving.To be clear, regen braking is not the same as one pedal driving.

and with one pedal off, the car should always be regenerating anytime it’s slowing down, Regen braking is just that, braking, bringing the vehicle to stop without needing your brake pads, which is why I love the “Regen on demand” paddle stronger assistance in one pedal, you can also add some Regen while still accelerating, or if you drive without one pedal it’s a different way to slow the car, however doing it that way without slowly letting off the accelerator (just like one pedal) will make people sick because it will lurch the vehicle

100% agree. I have had two Teslas and now on my second BMW EV. If there was something to complain about with my driving or my vehicle, my wide definitely would have done so. Probably the driver, not the vehicle.My Bolt has them separated but again if your causing people to be motion sick I think that falls on the driver, I love one pedal and have never made anyone sick and these people have been sick in our volt. Smooth movement is all it takes
The only times I’ve made people feel nauseous in my car is when it’s been a long day and I drive the way I used to drive my charger but sometimes sport mode is just fun
