Energy saving tip

I just noticed that stationary at the lights or traffic you can use up to 12% power by not moving and the brake pedal not being pressed hard enough.

Moral of the story, if you ain’t moving push the brake harder until you see zero

Which is what you were taught many years ago in your driving test

Advice which I believe has been modified since our day, so you don't always need to apply the handbrake. I'll have to check.

Ok but do you still pass the wheel through your hands at ten to two like your test too? I thought not….. we all get lazier

I thought there was an option to disable creep. If you press the brake hard, it enables autohold which means you can take your foot off and it stays still. I assume it turns off the brake lights to not dazzle the person behind at night too.

Or is that just a Trophy feature?

I’ll give it a go

It does engage/work on the SE but I think the brake lights stay on.

On most cars auto hold leaves the brake lights on.
