    Increased battery SOC and limited regen braking/regen dots

    Does anyone know at what SOC the regen braking is limited, and the car starts displaying the dots on the left hand side? I normally charge my 2021 M3P overnight to 55% SOC, as advised on this forum, and even in cold weather I haven't noticed the regen being limited or noticed any dots being...

    Test drove 2016 Model S P100D; Surprised by sluggish acceleration and weak regenerative braking.

    Hello, 2019 Model 3 Long Range (acceleration boost) owner here. I want to trade my Model 3 for a 2016 Model S P100D. I test drove a vehicle last weekend and the acceleration was much weaker than I expected. The car has been on the lot for 80-odd days and was at 50% charge. The car felt heavy and...

    Regenerative braking reduced

    2018MS100D. Owned since August. I've noticed lately that the regenerative braking is reduced. I suspect that this is due to cooler temperatures. It's not cold here yet - more like 50 deg F. In IMG_1873 the power meter has a yellow dashed line at about 4 o'clock. Also occasionally a yellow...

    Regen Braking with hand controls

    Hi, Has anyone here driven a Tesla with hand controls? How do you manage the transition from the hand control (which has both gas/power and brake) to the left stalk and back while signalling for a lane change/turn? I'm new to driving an EV (Model Y LR AWD) with hand controls (Suregrip...

    First Time Driving Model Y, Nervous About Regen Braking?

    Hey everyone, I’m going to get my MY delivered this week and now that it’s so near, I just realized I have to get used to regenerative braking. I’m actually pretty nervous as this will be my first time ever driving a model Y. I had test driven a model 3 but it was about a month or two back and...

    GTW_w026

    GTW_w026: I've seen other threads that include this warning code, but those seem to have multiple codes and don't really help explain this one in particular. So I'm starting this new thread to share my current situation, and see if anyone has any new info or developments on it. I bought my '15...

    Tesla Semi on Steep Grades (Napkin Physics)

    With two kids successfully launched to STEM college, I am running out of high school physics problem. So I did this https://kilowatt.page/tesla-semi-vs-eisenhower-pass/ TL;DR: The Semi can keep steady speed down any interstate at any legal speed. It can also slow down the truck on that hill...

    Winter preconditioning and max regenerative braking

    I live in Boston and lately I've been using Preconditioning and Scheduled Departure. However, I've noticed that my regen braking is still not 100% ready once I get in the car. I mean, I believe preconditioning helps a little bit--so instead of 8 dots, I will see 5 dots or something. Is this...

    Apply brakes when regen barking is limited

    So I've been waiting for this feature for quite a while and it just appeared when I updated to 2022.36.6 software. I turned it on and it works exactly as I hoped, giving it a more consistent braking experience. However, it is turning off every single time I start a new drive. For the life of...

    MYP ‘22 aka The Vomit Comet

    We are about to make our summer vacation trip with our son in the backseat of our new MYP, 40 miles out into the trip he started throwing up in the backseat. I realize that there were a couple of issues at play: my wife was getting a headache from being in the car with its rough deceleration...

    Problems with my MS 2015 P85D, need as much info as possible

    Hi! Im a relative new member and have browsed the forum a bit, and today on some errands my Model S 2015 P85D threw some errors at me (see added images) and a couple of hours later (with stops where the car entered sleep) regenerative braking stopped working. Have this happend to anyone else...

    Motors making louder noise after a lot of slow regenerative braking.

    So we live near the Smoky Mountains which is the perfect place to take the Tesla for the day. There is a motor trail (Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail) behind the tourist trap city of Gatlinburg, TN. It's a 5.5 mile one way loop that winds drivers through the forest and I'd say has an elevation...
