Regenerative braking setting in V. 2022.16.1.1

[JeffreyC]

i just downloaded v. 2022.16.1.1 and the release notes state the following:

"Your vehicle can now automatically apply regular brakes for consistent deceleration when regenerative braking is limited due to battery temperature or state of charge. To enable, tap Controls > Pedals & Steering > Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking Is Limited."

However, I cannot find the setting mentioned in the note. Neither Controls nor Pedals & Steering have such a setting. Has anyone been successful in finding this setting? Thanks.

It appears this function is limited to certain hardware.

Per the release notes:

I would like to know what specific hardware. Since everyone I know that has had this update, on different vehicle specs, haven’t got this option either.

 

[JeffreyC]

And why would it apply only to "specific hardware?" And what does "specific hardware" mean anyway? - models?

“Specific hardware” in my case means not me. The regen portion of 2022.16.1.1 did NOT appear in the firmware notes on my car. No idea who got this, but certain of one car that didn’t.

Yay! I’ve been hoping for this feature since the day I bought my car. I live on a hill and have severely limited regen every morning even in warm weather at modest (~60%) SOC. Regen only works for the first 20 seconds or so and quickly begins to fade as I continue downhill. The (predictable) unpredictability is rather unpleasant.

I haven’t received the update yet but I would expect them to slowly roll this out to those most in need first - cars with LFP batteries who were advised to charge to 100% daily.

You shouldn’t see the release note in your car if it doesn’t apply to your configuration. Try rebooting. Also, you might need to be in park to change the setting, but I’m not sure about that.

Yes, this feature is not mentioned in the release notes in my car. So that begs the question why I did not get it? I have a 2022 Model 3 LR. It even has the faster processor.

Maybe it’s only for older 3/Y’s, but I don’t know. In any case, since the release notes in your car didn’t include that item, you’re not missing something you’re supposed to have.

It says I received the setting in my 2021 Refresh Model S, however not sure where it is in the settings. Is it in the settings or just automatically does it?

See the first post.

I said this in another post, but someone at the SC said this was for older Teslas. It's not applicable to newer models that didn't have adjustment to regen.

 

[Tigermad]

No cars anywhere in the world have received this in their update as far as I know. Must have been false information.

 

[buddhafree]

My guess is they found some problems with regen feature and disabled in 16.1.1 . It will probably be present in the future version.

I have an early 19 and I don't have that braking feature even though I just installed 22.16.1.1, neither is it identified in my control panel. Perhaps it's limited to cars with 3.0, I have the 2.5 in my 19.

 

[Durzel]

Can confirm I DON'T have this feature on a 2020 (so non-LFP) M3P, Euro spec so HW3.0.

I have the usual pre-nerf regen options that newer cars don't have, yet don't have this aspect of the feature, so it seems like it applies to a very narrow band of 3/Y, if at all (@DBV1 said he got it in a refresh S).

What year is your car? I do not have it yet, same hardware. Would like to have it this winter, however.

It's a 2021 Model Y. It was delivered on Elon's 50th birthday (end of June). The release notes say it is hardware specific. I'm curious to know why some cars didn't get it and which cars didn't get it.
