Plaid Regen is Great, Even More so in Track Mode!

[SDRick]

I rarely engage track mode but when I do the regeneration feels much stronger. For me, the more regen the better but it is not practical running track mode all the time just for the regen.

It also feels like regen has been reduced slightly over the last few updates. Anyone else noticed this or notice a significant increase in regen using track mode?

I too thought it felt like regen was reduced in the last few updates.

I was certain it was just in my head though. Maybe not.

Feels the exact same to me since day 1, i.e. excellent. Does make me wonder if the Plaid - having three motors, has more regen available than the standard S.

When i first got mine I wanted less regen (coming from ICE) now i want more.

Same, I was originally quite disappointed that the new S didn't allow you to turn it down / off. And the learning curve was a bit high for me.

Everybody asks about the yoke, that I had down within 3 minutes, but the regen, that took me a solid 3 weeks....

I am really glad I wasn't given an option, as I would not have tried it out and now I love it.

I rarely use brakes anymore and its awesome. Much less fatiguing to drive in traffic.

Yes, lucky for you and others there was no option to turn it down or off.

Next to the torque and acceleration, regen is my next favorite!

That was one of my favorite things upgrading from a previous S. The regen on the Plaid is much stronger than the older cars.

Have you tried it and track mode yet?

 

[SDRick]

Just to make sure it wasn't in my head I just got back from a short drive with track mode. Regen is without doubt significantly stronger in track mode. I really like it!

Has anyone figured out a way to adjust regen strength? I know that regen strength can be adjusted in model 3 and Y using the S3XY buttons but apparently it is not yet available for model S (although I believe the company that manufactures the buttons are working on it).
