and for me being forced in to one pedal driving was not ideal.

I don't know anyone with an EV who hasn't eventually moved to one pedal driving. It's one of those things that you think feels weird at first but once you try it for a few days you never want to go back.

Make the ER pro for 50k and you could sell them all day. But you can’t even order that option, much less get it for that price.

This is the obvious issue. They marked the base model up by $12k before it ever came out and then didn't make any. I would have one right now if I could get one for $40k like they said originally and I don't even like trucks!

Wait you mean no brake pedal? Does letting off the gas effectively brake?

I know they have regen braking but so does my hybrid and it behaves nothing like that.

There's a brake pedal, but it's almost never needed (and if it is, it's always been because of me being stupid). Releasing the accelerator engages the regenerative breaking, up to and including coming to a stop. I love it and don't ever want to go back.

Having said that, I have had zero problem adapting back to normal breaking in my wife's car (ICE) when I need to drive it for some reason.

I really don't understand people that complain about the 1-pedal driving.
