Does anyone know how the Model S (or today's Roadsters) behave when stopped on a steep incline?
I own a Audi A3 with the DSG gearbox (hydraulically operated dual clutch gearbox that is more like a manual then an automatic) and the car has a hill hold function that will apply the brake when you first let your foot off the brake on a steep hill to stop the car from rolling backwards until you hit the gas and the clutch engages.
I assume that without something like this a single speed electric car would naturally want to roll backwards after lifting the brake on a steep hill. How Tesla is handling this today and with the Model S?
Thanks,
