My mercedes has the ability to put a maximum speed lock on, controlled by a pin.
It is recommended for use when valet parking or when loaning the vehicle to a restricted driver

Many cars have a speed limiter as part of cruise control. I often just set the limiter and then rest my foot on the accelerator safe in the knowledge it shouldn’t go over but I still have full manual control. This feature is GOLD in school zones.

Yes
The one in mine can't be cancelled or changed without the pin
So even if they restart the car or go into the settings they can't change it.
 
One pedal driving in my wife's Volvo Recharge is awesome. The motors spin backwards ; dunno how they manage that.
Saves brakes and gives you free range!
Oh and sporty driving is rewarded.

With the Tour Down Under currently underway in South Australia, it was great to spend some time in Adelaide in the build-up to the Tour. It was also a perfect opportunity to put the Grenadier through its paces on some local tracks, and give our INEOS athletes some time on the rough stuff...

it does wear your brakes. The one pedal EV drive is gold for when you realise you are a touch over and plod might be watching...instant slow...and faster than your brakes - if something jumps out you have already dropped 10km/hr.

No
That would defeat the purpose.
It is to stop car park attendants from taking your car for a spin as in Ferris Buellers Day Off

I knew exactly what that image was from by seeing just the lower third of the frame. Classic movie, classic scene.
 
@marko I saw in your sig that you have a Jimny. I'm a bit jealous - we do not get the here but they're awesome little trucks. Just curious if you've ever seen these? I saw them in an article last night. There's a company that sells "styling" kits that make Jimnies look like different "little" trucks - there's a Defender, G Wagon, Gen 1 Bronco, etc. Not sure if they're worth the money, but I like them.

Wonder if they'll make a little Gren lookalike.

Yeah the Jimny is surprisingly capable off road when fitted with a decent set of AT tyres. I like her a lot. Unfortunately I sold my daily driver (Range Rover Sport) two months ago in anticipation of my Grenadier arriving so she’s now my daily driver which isn’t totally ideal. In terms of the body kits, yeah they are cute (but expensive) and aimed I think at the domestic Japanese market. Not really my cup of tea. Interesting to see if a baby Grenadier kit gets released, hadn’t thought of that!

Obviously people do or they wouldn't bother
