The latest 42.2 update for RWD cars changes the regen to make it less aggressive when in standard mode. I had to use my brakes a hell of a lot more in traffic today, and it makes the twisty roads less fun. This was a HUGE step back in driving performance. I want the old regen back! Give us an aggressive regen feature please!

42.2 update - regen change sucks

Are you sure it wasn’t limiting power due to the cold temperature?
I have 42.2, and regen is most definitely stronger than it was previously.

Installed 42.2 yesterday and I can confirm the new regen is more aggressive at slowing down my 3. I can really tell the difference.
on the highway i have to use brakes ALOT which really sucks..anything below 40 km/h seems to work better.. may try toggling the settings..gotta try something
That sounds more like the snow tire problem. Regen may be reduced if you switched to snow tires. Some regen below about 30 km/h but more like coasting above that. No dots to indicate a regen reduction due to cold weather or 100% battery.
ETA: Also reduced regen with snow tires is a Model 3 RWD only problem it appears.

It's Not Easy Being Green
We don't know exactly what causes it yet. There's a huge thread on this issue in the Canada subforum. Right now, the prevailing theory is the ABS/TCS is detecting reduced grip on pavement, and being overly aggressive limiting regen at higher speeds. But again, it's just a theory.
Can confirm on the toggling! I had a terrible experience with the weaker regen today, and toggled the standard/low switch once to no effect. But after seeing this thread, I drove around the neighborhood and toggled a few more times and, lo and behold, the good strong regen is back, hooray
Do you have to remember to toggle the setting each time you drive, or does it remain fixed once it is toggled?
I just had to do it once. I went into settings, switched regen to low, put the car in drive and then back to park, then set regen setting back to standard. It felt normal for all my trips today after doing that this morning.
It doesn't, it likely knows that the tires are slipping when it doesn't think they should.
It has 8 cameras. It watched you install the snow tires.
