Steve, thank you for posting that quote from a Tesla engineer confirming that regen was not changed in V6. That should convince people that they are simply imagining regen changes.
But my experience is that once humans take a public position on an issue and facts are then revealed that contradict their position, for some reason many humans are strangely reluctant to acknowledge they were in error.

Since I've only had my car for about 6 weeks and took delivery in Fremont, I still have a recent relationship with my delivery specialist. In the interests of full disclosure, I asked him directly if there were regen changes in 6.0. He passed my question on to a service manager in Palo Alto, and here is his response, verbatim.
I just spoke to one of our firmware engineers, he mentioned that there was no change to regen settings with the 6.0 update. It’s possible the regen setting (in controls-driving) could have changed with the update. Also, when the Model S is fully charged the regen is limited because the battery does not need the power. The regen power is gradually increased as range depletes. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thank You
