Today I learned that pushing hard on the brakes at a stop light activates a ‘hold’ mode, so you don’t have to keep your foot on the brake pedal. It’s a revelation!
This is one of my favorite features! With adaptive cruise control, you can simply hit resume on the control arm and start moving without touching the gas. I can drive most of my commute without touching the gas or brake.

Nice. I’ll have to try that!
It’s not just in EVs, my ICE cars like the Cayman, 911, and Macan also have this feature.
I’ve known this since I started driving!
I use this feature every day and absolutely love it.
I find the implementation a bit lacking. You need to apply a lot of pressure to activate it.

Interesting, it shouldn’t require much pressure. Maybe there’s something off with your system?

I thought it was more about a double press, not pressure?

No, it’s just a bit more pressure, not a double press.

I actually think it works great as it is!

Maybe it’s just me then. My other car has a button that holds the brake automatically, which I prefer.
@Sam
It might be worth checking for a software update for your brake system if it feels too hard to activate.

I prefer having to activate it manually. Gives me more control.

You might want to get that checked. It should only require a quick tap.

Mine also requires a lot of pressure to activate.

That’s not normal. You might want to get the brake system checked, especially if there’s a recall.

I haven’t been called in for that recall yet.

I’d recommend calling your dealer to schedule it. They might be slow to reach out.
@Devon
Were there other serious recalls done at the same time?
