I'm having a one-pedal dilemma. For those of us who crave the pure one-pedal experience, it's crazy that i-pedal locks us into AWD mode all the time. While it can switch between front and rear wheels when accelerating, it can't handle regen all the way to a stop without i-pedal engaged? It's a missed opportunity! The Chevy Bolt nails this - one-pedal all the way without ever needing the brake (except emergencies). Hyundai could've offered a middle ground. Maybe a Level 4 regen that keeps regen engaged to a stop without forcing AWD? They already have levels 0-3 and auto-regen, so why not add another option (or fold it into Level 3)?
 
Been playing around with the regen settings, and I figured out that holding the right paddle puts the car into Auto regen mode. It'll keep regening until you hit the brakes, and I think it also turns on adaptive cruise control. Holding the left paddle gives you full regen, which can be a bit aggressive. As for AWD, I haven't noticed any significant downsides. It's great for any weather conditions, and you won't even need to worry about it on long trips with cruise control.
