Regen-ing to a stop without Creep activated

I was thinking about this the other day. Break lights don’t come on under Regen, or do they?

Yes, they do. I’ve tested that and know it to be true. The car is slowing down. You want the driver behind you to know that. So the brake lights come on. The S and X also work that way.

You don’t need to press on the brake pedal for the brake lights to come on: if you remove forward pressure from the accelerator pedal the brake lights also come on.

I'm pretty sure Tesla could implement complete one pedal driving (what you're asking about) with a software update. It's darn close now. I think it will come eventually.

I was thinking about this the other day. Break lights don’t come on under Regen, or do they? So wouldn’t the risk of getting rear ended greatly increase without break lights? I worry about this all winter in all my vehicles since I put on top quality winter tires.

Yes. The brake lights come on during regen slowdown. I had someone follow me and proved this was the case. Thanks

You can also look at the little Model 3 on your screen, the brake lights light up there when your own do. They don’t come on at all parts of regen, just when the g-force is over a certain amount.

The 2018 Nissan Leaf epedal brings you to a complete stop. Kinda cool. True one pedal driving. It actually applies the friction brake to to this though.

The brake lights do come on with high regen. My wife verified this the other day while following me,

Regen to a stop is physically not possible. Depending on the exact implementation there is some minimal speed under which the electronics and motor will consume more just do want to slow down, that could be generated by same motor turning with that slow speed.
It is possible to do 'power-braking' ie consume energy to make the motor want to turn slower/stall. All the kinetic and battery energy would turn into heat.
Hill-hold using just the motor consumes energy and produces heat.

Fair answer. As a result of this, I'm adapting to learning when to apply the friction brake during regen for a reasonable stopping distance to the car in front of me.
