Just got a brand new 2020 MS (long range). Regen has been limited almost all the time with the dashed yellow line on the bottom of the power graph circle. I talked to Tesla service a few times and even brought it over to the SC. We did a supercharge over there for ~15 mins and after that the full regen DID come on. I have also been able to get it to come on after ~20 mins of highway driving at fast speeds. However, I am not getting it for all other shorter drives.
Previously I had a 2016 MS for 3 years and saw very different behavior. My regen was pretty much on all the time (unless I did a near full charge or if temps were really frigid) and I didn’t charge or “pre-condition” all the time.
I’m in the Chicago area and temps are relatively mild now (40s-50s F). Tesla SC said they may have changed the software algorithms such that the regen needs the battery to be at 70 degrees F. Any insight on this? I really got used to driving a lot without braking (relying on the regen deceleration) and this is a totally different feel. If they indeed changed the temperature threshold then being where I am at, does that mean I wont have regen most of the year?
