This is something that's always baffled me about Teslas. I have a Prius, and regenerative breaking being tied to the break pedal is easy and intuitive. It also means I can easily lift my foot of the gas pedal to coast. IDK it just seems like a much better design to have one "stop" pedal and one "go" pedal, vs one "stop" pedal and one "go/stop" pedal.

Counterargument is that it's even easier to have only one pedal you use to accelerate and decelerate. Having owned a Prius and a Y, the Tesla is actually smoother to control, by a very significant margin. It's actually a superior way to drive, though it is surprising the first time you see it.
