This new scientific article, below, seems like a huge big deal. Basically it sounds as though EVs, including Teslas, may be interacting with Bosch brakes to in essence short circuit (especially when the brake lights error code is triggered) and accelerate due to loss of regen/addition of motor torque. Green has a whole thread going on at his Twitter about this too.

My question is, to those who perhaps understand the article better than I do, does this mean that we should all be turning regen to “low” until this is fixed (possibly via recall, or more hopefully, a firmware update)?
