Toyota has done this a little different than Tesla. (Let me know if you get tired if me putting Rav stuff in the threads). When you let off the accelerator you get a modest amount of regen, either in the D, (lower regen) or B (more agressive regen with zero throttle). Then when you put on the brake, it adds more regen for about the first 3/4 inch or so of brake travel, and thats when the brake lights come on. Additional brake pressure then causes the calipers to engage. I like the way they did this! Very smooth, and well thought out.
I can get off the freeway, and using light brake pressure, allmost all of the braking is done by the regen. I can get out of the car and touch the rotors, and they are barely warm. Amazing!!
