    hmm, I meant slipping in the car while you are crawling out of it, on test rides this often happens. I never got so fast out of the Roadster, that the creep didn't work already, to much weight

    Creep is required for Oakland, CA based owners who want to ghost-ride.

    Can't fathom how you can sit with both feet on the floor in a manual ICE vehicle without putting it in neutral. Same thing works in an electric, pop it in neutral if you want to sit.

    I agree 100% with this. But if they could make it configurable then that would be fine too. I would leave mine on.

    Exactly. I was against creep but I came to think of it as necessary feature.
    You have Park/Neutral and you have Drive.
    When car is in Drive you have to be actively stopping it from moving or it becomes an accident waiting to happen.
    This "active stopping" is pressing the brake in automatic or the clutch and brake in manual transmission car.
    If you want the car to stand still put it out of Drive or gear.
    I believe in Tesla as a concept, a brand, and a suite of products. No matter who conceived, started, runs, or maintains, I hope it ultimately prevails and lasts.

    Yeah, but with a manual car you are technically in neutral when you have the clutch in. Also, with me at least, when I am stopped at a light I usually put the car in neutral, especially when I know the light just turned, so that I don't have to hold the clutch (especially since a clutch has more pressure to it than pushing the brake in). Besides it's really easy to throw the car in neutral with a manual seeing as you don't even have to push in the clutch. When I drive an auto I don't put the car into neutral, that is just annoying. I have to go through gears anyway in a manual which is why putting it into neutral is not a big deal. I wouldn't want to have to do that in an electric car.
