I don't know what deal is but it drives me crazy to use my actual brakes all the time now. My only guess is that Tesla determined that the batteries weren't liking the high in-rush current from full power regen when they are even remotely cold and recent BMS software releases have severely crippled regen in cold weather to protect the battery better.
It drives me nuts too but you seems to not realize that I live in the tropics! It's between 25 and 35 degrees here and I also cannot 1 pedal drive anymore. Though I wonder if the problem gets even more exacerbated when it's cold. The lack of regen from 20-35mph (where the regen was superstrong before) I can live with with a bit of planning but the lack of regen between 5 and 20mph means you now absoloutely have to use the brakes.
I think Model 3 max regen power is 60 or 80kw which really isn't that much compared to it's DC charging capabilities...
Edit: what drives me even more nuts is how noone seems to be bothered here or even notice the regen issue. You are only the 2nd person who has acknowledged this.
