Coming back to update this. Because you don't really use the brake pedal in Teslas (and many EVs), when you want to stop, you just need to let off the throttle. To engage the auto gear change, you push the brake pedal when you're ready.

So say you wanted to go back another inch, just push the throttle again. The gear change will only happen when you brake.

Not necessary at all, but super cool if anyone ever gets the chance to use it. It's the small things that make cars awesome.

@carnutchronicle It just knows. It's pretty incredible irl

@stickermule Game changer. Most people don't need/want 10 of my stickers. But one, they definitely want one

[Rij Martin @idgemartin]

@stickermule Neat. I love Sticker Mule ❤️

@EVSwapLLC @carnutchronicle It uses T-Mobile towers, so it's generally been pretty good for me in Utah.

My wife had Verizon for a while and it was better... I'm not sure it was $70 a month better, but it was better.
