""I find it pretty frustrating because even though it's regenerative braking and you're not using the brake pedal, you're clearly the one that is in full control of making the vehicle come to a stop or to slow down," Simard stated, adding that his daughter was also penalized for the Model Y's feature that alerts drivers when a traffic light turns green."
"In a comment, Julia Caslin, a spokesperson for Ontario's Ministry of Transportation, stated that the province's graduated licensing system "requires drivers to always demonstrate safe vehicle operation and full control, regardless of the vehicle's features." "Applicants are expected to understand how their vehicle's system - including lane centring, regenerative braking, adaptive cruise control and automated parking - may affect handling and performance during a road test," Caslin stated."
Eric Simard said his teenage daughter borrowed his Tesla Model Y for her G road test and was not fully familiar with how to disable regenerative braking. The examiner did not allow the daughter to call for help to turn off the feature. The daughter failed the test after never using the physical brake pedal, and the examiner marked the Model Y as "out of order." The daughter was also penalized for the car's alert when a traffic light turned green. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation said applicants must demonstrate safe vehicle operation, full control, and understand systems like regenerative braking.
