@gforce917@floofy.tech virtually every road car that lacks a clutch control will do that, as far as I know. (actually I have no direct experience* with more esoteric setups like DCTs, but like. most drivers (in NA at least) are used to ICE automatics, and automakers design around that.)
I drove the 2020s spaceship-lookin Prius once and I'm pretty sure it had creep. both BEVs I've driven did as well. I do recall, more than a decade ago, seeing a photo of a Tesla Model S settings page that had an option to disable creep; I dunno if they still have that, or if any other BEVs have that kind of option.
even if it bugs you, do you understand how slushboxes produce that effect, at least?
* the DCTs in BeamNG.drive don't have creep, but—while the game's simulations are getting ever more sophisticated—I have no clue if this is generally true of real DCTs

@Skirmisher@snoot.tube yeah i know how a torque converter works. doesn't stop the creep bugging me for extremely weird petty reasons :P I think the nissan leaf and maybe some of the hyundai EVs let you turn it off too but i'd never really thought about hybrids doing it/not doing it until today. as for DCTs, apparently some of em do, for the same everyone's-used-to-torque-converters reasons. i remember hearing about one manufacturer having problems with the clutches blowing up because the creep function made em overheat but i forgot if it was hyundai, fiat or ford. might've been all 3 idk, don't think vw had that particular issue.
