What regen mode do you use?

[Tony R1S]

I have been using high regen setting using AP drive mode for long time (2+ yrs). Couple of weeks ago, I decided to try out standard/middle regen setting, and found out that it's a lot easier to drive. The high regen mode requires rather steady pressure on accelerator to stay in the narrow pedal travel for coasting. It's much easier to achieve this coast in standard regen mode, and I haven't noticed any significant decrease in efficiency. I also haven't used brakes any more either, and the ride also seems smoother for passengers. I recommend giving it a try if you're on high all the time, and haven't already tried it.

I use high when alone and low when my wife is in the car as she does not like the feeling of the high regen braking effect.

High, but I'll give medium a shot and see if I like it. Cheers.

Update: tried medium and TBH I cant tell the difference. Probably have to drive more.

When it comes to regen I'm of the "give me all you got"

I do wish that it did stop light detection and it could use optimized regen for stopping right before the line. That would neat.

Instead its up to me to modulate it so it stops right before the line.

High and I could deal with it being higher if it was an option.

I noticed this as well on the gen 1 vehicles. I still used high most of the time (standard does not slow down quick enough in certain high speed situations for my liking) but have found standard to be a lot smoother overall. IMO on the test drive I did with the Gen 2 vehicles seems like the regen is a lot smoother across the board and much less jerky.

I tried what ever the other regen levels are once. Yet here I am back on high. I agree with the above, give me more.

High only for true one-pedal driving.

High Regen and turn Brake assist off as I'll use that big pedal in the middle when I want to use it.

 

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Standard with brake assist on feels the smoothest to me.

Should make this a poll.

High. It is the safest setting. In an emergency, the car stops in the shortest possible distance. The more aggressive the Regen Braking, the better - even a couple feet could save the day.

High. If you don't like the break effect on high, just let go of the accelator slower. No reason to use a lower mode unless you have no control over your ancles...

I've been using high since day 2 and will never change it. It's just more confidence inspiring and predictable. Now, if the next ice age comes and it snows below 1k ft in SoCal...

High 100% of the time. Just have to figure out the right 'feathering' technique to make it smooth. Once you do that it is great.
