So yesterday my wife and I went to the Getty Villa. Those not familiar, the entrance driveway is cobblestone and a 8+% grade uphill and the line to get in was moving very slowly, constantly stopping and going. So this made for a jumpy time in the car since the Model 3 rolls back almost immediately after taking my foot off the accelerator and then switching to the brake. I started treating it like a manual using both feet to transition the acceleration and braking a bit smoother.
My wife noticed how much I was fussing to keep from rolling back and I told her how I wished the Model 3 has a Hill Climb feature like our X5 where it would automatically engage Hold on a hill like this when you come to a stop. She then just said, “Why don’t you just use Auto drive so it stops and goes for you?”
Genius my wife is! She’s smarter than me.
