Unfortunately, you cannot. Tesla removed this option starting with the 2021 models.
There was never an option to turn off regenerative braking. The setting was under Driving Settings, enabled changing the level of regenerative braking from Standard to Low. Newer Tesla vehicles do not have the ability to change the level of regenerative braking.

In winter temperatures, if you don't fully precondition the Tesla, warm the battery pack the Tesla vehicle will have greatly reduced regenerative braking. Also, when the battery pack state of charge is over 85% Tesla limits the regenerative braking.
Chill mode only affects acceleration; Hold, Creep and Roll only apply at very low speed.
Can anyone comment on actual experience with excessive regen on slippery roads? I haven't noticed any problems at all during this winter, and we had a substantial amount of snow up here in the Great White North. Mind you, I have conditioned myself to be more alert for the need to slow down, and avoid lifting off the accelerator too quickly...
You can lessen the affect of regenerative braking by slowly easing up on the accelerator, rather than just taking your foot off of it. Just takes some getting use to.
There will be no problem with regen in winter. The regen is subject to traction and stability control systems, just like acceleration. If regen causes the wheels to block, it will reduce, just like abs would do when you brake. The wheels might lock for a fraction of a second and will adjust. If you were in a turn, stability control will make sure the car stays straight.
You would not jump on the brakes hard on snow and ice, so don't let go of the accelerator hard either as that's equivalent to hitting brakes.
Yes, that's been my experience. I read lots of posts suggesting bad consequences from the use of regen in winter, but I never had any problems whatsoever.
I have a 2020 M3 and have slipped a few times in the snow and ice. Normally I will turn the setting to low if it's snowing pretty heavily or if they haven't taken care of the roads yet. I like the regen and pretty much drive with one pedal but in the winter I think it would be a good idea to have the option.
Just got my Model3 P yep days ago. Absolutely love it, but I’d defo like to be able to reduce or remove the regeneration braking when not in track mode. In the first 70 miles or so of driving, I’ve barely had to use the brakes. That’s ok most of time, but it’s taking some of the fun out of twisty back roads for me.
Not currently possible since Tesla removed the Low Regen setting. Just wait until winter, you will get your wish as regen will be reduced due to battery temperature.
Yeah I’ve been reading that on here. Just can’t see when I’ll actually need to use those amazing brakes! Maybe I’ll have to experiment driving in track mode but on ‘normal’ roads.
Regen doesn't prevent you from using your nice brakes on twisty roads. See regen as engine compression on a manual car. Get your foot off the accelerator, it slows down somewhat. You need more, press the brake.
