My cheap E-golf has that feature too (level selectable, I always go max). I love it. It's almost one pedal driving in the city. You only need the brakes when actually stopping hard. It's not that weird, it's exactly like being one gear too low on a manual and slowing on compression....

I'm a gearhead, and frankly even that modest VW has me convinced electric cars have a future. "A" future. Not THE future. yet... The instant torque is amazing too, even on my comparatively crappy car. King of 0-40 in the city....
