I noticed, when I charged my car to 90% recently, the regen seemed to be limited to about 30 kW. There was no warning or dashed line on the IC, like I'm used to seeing with the occasional range charge. It was a bit disconcerting, as I wasn't expecting it, and at that limit, going 50-60 MPH, the car seems to barely decelerate. As the car slows down, though, it becomes apparent that regen is working. By the time I drove my car, it was probably a little below 90% due to vampire drain. By the time it got closer to 80%, the regen had recovered to about 60 kW.
The car is parked overnight in my garage in San Diego, so I'm pretty sure the battery pack wasn't cold soaked.
I'm trying to figure out if this is normal or not. I don't recall this happening in the past, but I usually charge to 80%. It's not like I have never charged to 90%.
This is a 60 kWh pack (2013 Model S).
