Previous post said they owned other brands of hybrids that creep and they felt the maverick hybrid would too. With the engine not running I wanted to know why.
Ever drive in San Francisco?
so you're the one, I've been looking for you! (if you can stack your papers/books on top of each other on the real desk, then I "should" be able to do it on the computer"....right.... big bucks for people who fix things
I was there. The company I worked for did not die from Y2K because I was I there. When asked the date why do you say 2021 we all know it's not 1921. We old guys lived and loved the two digit year. Making the new similar to the old makes us feel comfortable.
A coworker is still looking for "the" programer who caused Y2K
One of the most fun trouble tickets I ever had was "my word perfect button is GONE..HELP!
The user had stacked her icons
I luv it
This is all true, but it's incomplete: where is the power coming from to supply max torque?
It's not rocket science, and it does work very well.
There's no lack of consensus, just 1/2 people repeating the same question asking why the Maverick would creep, and everyone else repeating the same answer "because people expect it to, because other (Ford and otherwise) hybrids do it."
That certainly seems logical to me, but hey what do I know? I simply think that if that behavior isn't organic, the engineers would want toI'm too lazy right now to go look through all the review videos or look through the owners manual that someone else posted on this site, but I believe the hybrid comes with the auto-hold feature, which if it does, it is the far right button below the shift dial.
If you are not familiar with it, it will keep the brake applied for you until you step on the gas, or in other words, eliminate the "creep." This is useful if you are sitting in traffic or long lights so you do not have to hold your foot on the brake. Or similar to a manual transmission car where it will not move forward unless you apply the gas.
So in essence, since the hybrid does have auto-hold option, it will creep when you let off the brake unless you turn that feature off by selecting auto hold.
They would 100% want to replicate it just because it was expected. When Teslas were first released, it was one of the biggest complaints that the car didn't creep.. because people have been program to expect that after driving automatic cars their whole life. They had to send a software update out to all the cars to program it in.
You are correct. If it doesn't do it naturally, it will be designed in. It's strange how much you realize you miss that feature after you spend a long time driving a car where creeping is a no-no, like with a dual clutch.
Agreed.
It seems misleading to say the electric motor is de-energized when braking. The stator is doing some serious business when braking.
