Current Model S Regen/hill hold versus Y

[lolachampcar]

Quick question to new Model S owners.
A friend picked up a Y and I had a chance to drive it a good bit the other day. The regenerative braking was stronger than my S and the Y will come to a full stop and engage hill hold automatically without having the touch the brake. Has Tesla implemented this same functionality in current production S'?

Thanks,
Bill

Yes. In Manual,
Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative
Braking.
2. Choose from two levels:
• Standard: Provides the maximum
amount of regenerative braking. When
you release the accelerator, Model S
slows down, reducing the need to use
the brakes.
• Low: Limits regenerative braking.
When you release the accelerator,
Model S takes longer to slow down
and coasts further than if set to
"Standard".

Stopping Mode
Regenerative braking decelerates Model S
whenever you release the accelerator pedal
when driving. You can choose what you want
Model S to do once the driving speed has
been reduced to a very low speed (almost at a
stop) and both the accelerator pedal and
brake pedal are released. While in Park, touch
Controls > Driving > Stopping Mode and
choose from these options:

CREEP: When close to, or at, a complete
stop, the motor continues to apply torque,
moving Model S slowly forward (in Drive)
or backwards (in Reverse), similar to a
conventional vehicle with an automatic
transmission. In some situations, such as
on a steep hill or driveway, you may need
to press the accelerator pedal to continue
moving or to prevent Model S from
moving in the opposite direction.
A Warning: Never rely on CREEP to
apply enough torque to prevent your
vehicle from rolling down a hill.
Always press the brake pedal to
remain stopped or the accelerator
pedal to proceed up the hill. Failure
to do so can result in property
damage and/or a collision.
• HOLD: Maximizes range and reduces
brake wear by continuing to provide
regenerative braking at speeds lower than
with the Creep and Roll settings. When
Model S stops, the brakes are
automatically applied without you having
to put your foot on the brake pedal.
Whether stopped on a flat surface or a hill,
Vehicle Hold keeps the brake applied,
provided your foot remains off the
accelerator and brake pedals. See Vehicle
Hold on page 73.
• ROLL: When close to, or at, a complete
stop, Model S becomes free rolling like a
vehicle in Neutral. Therefore, if stopped on
a slope, Model S will roll downward. The
brake does not engage, and the motor
does not apply torque (until the
accelerator pedal is pressed).

Only Raven model S built 2019+ will have the same regen capability as the model Y, as they share the same front drive unit. The Pre-raven S with the older DU does not have as powerful of a regen and cannot go to a complete stop.

True, but in the interest of being pedantic, technically the Model S Raven has the same permanent magnet motor in front that the 3/Y have in the rear. It's their big motor and our small one
