Does FSD 10.x take advantage of regen braking?

A forum search didn't reveal the answer...

Do recent builds of FSD make use of regen braking, for efficiency and brake pad longevity -- or does it mainly/exclusively use the friction brakes?

Yes.

...does it mainly/exclusively use the friction brakes?

If regen is not enough, friction will be automatically used also.
