I just received some inputs from someone who watches my YouTube channel in Spanish.
He owns a Mercedes C180 and tested the deceleration from 150 to 140 kph.
That took 2,5 secs in my Model S with regen braking.
He took 6,2 secs in 6th gear, 5 secs in 5th gear and 3,9 secs in 4th gear.
I know not all ICEs will decelerate at the same rate, since it will depend on engine power, drag, etc.
But for those who stated that brake lights are not needed under the circumstances I described, do these figures make you change your point of view?
