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.
You mean like the Village resident who drove her tesla out of her driveway and right into the wall of her neighbor's house? Fun times.
