How does Tesla brake?

Currently, Tesla has two main braking modes, one is to press the brake pedal to achieve braking, and the other is to turn on the energy recovery (single pedal) mode, in which the driver can simply lift the gas pedal, and the vehicle will slow down and stop.

However, we should remind you that although energy recovery can play a braking function, but the single pedal mode is not the same as braking, in case of emergency or should be achieved by pressing the brake pedal to stop, this is the most correct and safest method.
