I would try one pedal drive in a heartbeat if I didn't also regularly drive a gasser. I think it would be difficult going back and forth from 1 vehicle to the other

That's something I was wondering about over the weekend when I was driving my ICE Dodge down a moderately steep crappy dirt road from a radio site. In the Dodge I had the transfer case in 4x4 low and the transmission in 2nd gear. I spent more time on the gas pedal than the brake (what I intended). How does this equate to an electric drive that has no transfer case with a low range, and of course regen vs engine braking? I would assume I would be riding the brake pedal (presumably all or mostly actually regen).I do use 1 pedal when I go to the mountains and I have a long descent.
With 1 pedal you don’t need to touch the brakes. You’re basically on regen all the way down. As you push the accelerator the regen reduces and you speed up and then when you back off the pedal it slows you down.That's something I was wondering about over the weekend when I was driving my ICE Dodge down a moderately steep crappy dirt road from a radio site.

I have multiple vehicles - my lightning only 1 pedalKeeping in mind that I do not have a Lightning yet, so have never had the opportunity to drive a vehicle with 1 pedal mode. However once I do, I will drive multiple vehicles that are all 2 pedal vehicles. In an emergency I don't want to have to think which vehicle I'm in and how to panic stop.

Took me about 3 days and it was second nature and so are my 2 pedal vehicles. Probably like being fluent in multiple languages. You will be fine either way IMO.
I get the same 100% using the brake in two pedal. Not sure where I read it but if you slow down efficiently (1PD or 2PD), the friction brakes don't apply until under 5 mph.I love timing it so that I am coming to a stop just a couple of feet from the vehicle in front of me. Then I get the reward stating that I got 100% regen of that stop. Simple little pleasures.
I have no problems with it. Drive both types every week.I would try one pedal drive in a heartbeat if I didn't also regularly drive a gasser. I think it would be difficult going back and forth from 1 vehicle to the other
