Not easy to sell a lease or lose money if you drove off the lot and still owe tons... not a smart reply at all. Could you even afford to sell yours right now?
Maybe the difference between yours and my perspective on if it's unsafe for i-pedal to not be the default regen comes down to a difference in something that's probably more important. Maybe you and I have a difference of opinion on how aware drivers should be of what's going on with the 4,000 pound car we're entrusted with controlling.

To my way of thinking, I-Pedal is annoying because of all the beeps. Personally, I don't mind the audible feedback, but my wife asks every time, what's wrong.Maybe the difference between yours and my perspective on if it's unsafe for i-pedal to not be the default regen comes down to a difference in something that's probably more important.

In the months that's gone by since I earlier posted on this thread, I've gotten used to I-Pedal and use it all the time, even when I have a passenger (I can use I-Pedal a lot more smoothly than I used to). So now when I put the I5 in Drive I immediately pull on the left regen toggle lever and put it in I-Pedal. I do it with both hands moving one-immediately-after-the-other to change the "gear" setting to D with my right hand immediately before changing the regen to I-Pedal with my left hand. To me it's like one motion with two hands, analogous to playing a flam on a drumhead. Even with that very habitual motion, I still make sure I hear the ding to alert me that it's now in I-Pedal mode (back to the awareness of the car). Likewise, when slowing to a stop I always pay attention to if it's actually doing it. Always. It's yours and my responsibility as drivers of our 4,000 pound cars. (For reference, that's even heavier than my ex-wife
Do I wish the I5 defaulted to the regen setting I had the last time I had it in Drive? Sure. Do I call it "unsafe" for not doing so? No. Saying that would mean the equivalent of saying it's not my responsibility as the driver to make sure all of the motion settings I depend on are set.
I never said I have had a accident but it could lead to one meaning dangerous. We can be as aware as humanly possible and still make a mistake. This "feature" is likely to cause that mistake. It is dangerous in a small way no matter how you look at this. I too have the muscle memory but as has been pointed out it sometimes will still turn off when you don't expect it too. Going into reverse is the example. As hard as I try I still get caught unaware sometimes. Not a good feeling at all.

This…for me. Coming from a Model 3 where such transition is smooth as glass and completely unnoticeable by driver or passengers/pets, we find the Hyundai transition jarring. I still haven’t been able to feather the accelerator well enough to mitigate the lurch.
I'll have to learn more about OBD2 commands.
I use cruise control and regen (usually set to I-Pedal) all the time. So when I disable cruise control, I usually do it by not pressing the brake pedal. I first press the "gas" pedal a little, then press the CC button to disable it, then slowly let off the "gas" pedal to engage regen. Smooth and easy.
Driving any car is dangerous. This is why it is your responsibility to learn and know the behavior of your car. If you truly believe the I5 to be unsafe, stop driving it.
Yes, but I like my I5 so I won't.
I'm intrigued by your comment about the beeps. Mine doesn't beep in i-Pedal except possibly when I first turn it on. Are the UK cars different?
I don't remember ever hearing any beeps. I don't know what he's talking about.
Like you, I keep my stereo cranked up too. 🎸
Is that an option? My UK 2022 one only does a little beep when you engage i-Pedal for which is just once at the start of a journey.
Every time it turns on or off, it beeps. Engaging cruise control turns it off, which displays a notice and makes a beep. Disengaging CC turns iPedal back on, displays a notice, and beeps again.
Me neither. But it doesn't bother me at all. You want to hear beeps, try putting a Prius in reverse. Sheesh!!!
I get this behaviour too. Beep when iPedal engaged. If you engage reverse you get a beep to say you’ve done that and another one to say that’s the end of iPedal.
I like both. Auto for if I'm going to be using cruise control. iPedal for back streets.
