Does the Model 3 have Low and Standard Regen Options?

[HeyEph]

I drive a Model Y and have both Low and Standard options for Regen.
Does the Model 3 also have this?

You drive an older model Y with those features. Neither new model Ys nor new model 3s have regen choice. The answer to your question is, "depends on model year in question. New model 3 / Y = No".

 

[HeyEph]

Thanks. Yes, the Model 3 I am referring to is a 2019.

 

[jrweiss98020]

Yes. My 2019 has the Low option.

Aren't the three stopping modes related to the regen choice; i.e., Creep, Roll, and Hold, where Hold provides the max regen?

Thats not what they were asking, though, and those (creep, roll, hold) are not related to how strong the regen is but whether the car will come to a complete stop without using the brake pedal, or coast, and / or move forward when the brake pedal is not pushed (like an ICE car).

older model 3s and Ys have an actual category for regen strength (low / standard), that 2021 and newer do not have.

Hope this helps. From a 2020 M3

I thought we all had that until it was updated away...

What I understand is 2020 models was the last to have these option. I could be wrong please correct me if I am

No, I won’t correct you...my wife says my memory ain’t worth...can’t remember

It hasn’t been updated away and most likely won’t be. I thought I read that Tesla took away the low regen option in order to get the higher EPA range ratings on the newer models. Since the older models have a lower rated range based on having a low regen option, there’s no reason to take it away.

I wish they had just rebadged low-regen to "snow mode" instead getting rid of it completely. I find low-regen very useful when the road is slippery. Trying to modulate the brake pedal to prevent excessive braking on the rear tires in snow is extremely hard.

Odd, I never experienced a problem with it. The stability control system seems to deal with it nicely.

Agree, low regeneration or off regeneration is really helpful in powder or slushy snow conditions
