Tesla are as advanced as golf cars. And just like golf cars, they have 2 pedals. And drive like golf cars, electric golf cars anyhow.
Still the 2 pedals. Getting off the gas, er, acceleration pedal will give you some regenerative braking. But the second pedal will also apply the fully functional hydraulic brakes. A good thing since ev cars weigh on average 1000 pounds more than a gas car.
But unlike a golf car, Tesla also has accident avoidance braking. If the cars radar sees an object coming that you will hit, it can emergency brake on its own.
