Lost “low Regen” and “range” modes

[BM3B]

I took delivery of a new X LR+ last week. I have driven a 2018 X before and used both range mode and low Regen mode. But I don’t see these options in the menu, see attached pic. I am on 2020.35.10.1

Do other X owners have these options still? I heard they may have been removed in June. If so, why?

Could it be because you have Hold enabled?

No, I just tried all the options in “Driving” menu. It’s gone.

Older X here with 20.36.11 has Range Mode but not Low Regen. Never used low regen but have heard it helped some in slippery conditions. Range mode mostly reduces HVAC power so maybe with new tech it is not needed.

Thanks, helpful. Did the X use to have “Low Regen”? My 3 always had it.

I was just offered 36.11 for my X this evening. Installed and I still have both low regen and range mode. June 2018 X.

My Oct-2019 Model 3 also 36.11, still has low regen, even with hold mode set. It does not have range mode. But I don’t know if it ever had range mode, I never needed or used it.

Yes

My '18 MS on 2020.36.11 still has Low and Range mode. As for your M3 I'm not sure if the 3's had Range mode. I think only S and X have them.

correct no range mode on 3. I do want “low Regen” on my X, no idea why Tesla removed it. I’ll ask service next week.

I heard the low regen option was removed around June in order for Raven models to receive the higher EPA rating.

 

[Uncle Paul]

It may be that Tesla eliminated the lo-regen in order to get the EPA miles rating over 400 miles.

 

[BM3B]

Thanks for the idea. How lame if true! Well the X doesn’t have that range, and Anyways EPA should be measured with default settings, it shouldn’t matter if you can change it. and why remove “range mode” which should should only help EPA rating?

I am still confused. I tweeted Elon but no reply.

 

[fr100]

I believe if it is a setting that can be toggled off long term, then the EPA will take the average of the results of having it on and off. That's why ICE cars with engine auto start-stop will default the setting to ON at the start of every drive.

 

[BM3B]

I see, well I am fine if it defaults to normal Regen. I hope they bring it back

I still have "Low & Standard Regen" as well as "Range Mode". Wife uses low regen.

Thanks, when was your X manufactured? If before June 2020 this makes sense, rumor is X’s made after June are missing both.

Thank you Ski Man, I looked for your signature but can’t see it on my phone. You have a good one! Still has Regen and Range modes

In seven years of Tesla ownership across S/X I don’t ever recall using range mode or low regen...IMO u aren’t missing much

I have owned 2 Model 3s and I used “low Regen” in both when driving on icy and snow covered mountain roads above LA, as well as anytime my wife was in the car because she gets motion sickness with strong Regen.
