The adaptive regen of the bmw system where it coasts but slows in anticipation if a car or cyclist is ahead or at a signal or roundabout is just so comfortable and clever one pedal driving done for people who want best of both worlds.
Yes and yes! Phantom breaking is a fatal flaw in Tesla SW. Happened to me several times and never used the autopilot again. Adaptive regen in the iX is a game changer, as the Tesla approach is tiring always using the pedal. I did 25k miles across our Teslas and will never buy one again. On the other hand we love our iX.
