I took my G road test the other day, and I used my Tesla Model 3. My examiner said I did everything correctly. However, I didn’t pass for one reason: rolling stops.

The thing is, I know I stopped properly because I made a point to. I even counted in my head. Every. Time.

I think the examiner did not understand the concept of regenerative breaking. He likely noticed that I wasn’t moving my feet from accelerator to the brake, and he didn’t “feel” the car braking, so he assumed I just wasn’t braking.

This is a warning to turn off regenerative braking!! Or, at least, make a point to press on the brake every time you come to a stop.
