Why Do Some People Get Carsick In Teslas (And Even EVs In General)?

One of the main factors in EV-carsickness is regenerative braking and how it makes the car feel.
Like gas-powered cars, EVs still have two pedals, an accelerator and a brake, but most EVs have settings where you can adjust the regenerative braking that is connected to the accelerator.
Letting go completely and abruptly in these heavy-regen modes feels like a rough transition, like going from accelerating to hard braking immediately and without warning.
On top of having regenerative brakes that are sensitive and tough to control, EVs are quite a bit torquier than the average gas-equivalent vehicle.
Electric motors can typically create lots of torque from a standstill, so there's more abrupt motion when speeding up.
