Possibly. I wouldn't know. I've driven over 105K miles in our Model 3 and have never replaced the brake padsaren't covered by the warranty at all
I hardly ever even use them when driving.

The regen option is completely gone on my new car, but it was there on my old car when I traded it in last week. Not that I ever changed it, but it was strange not seeing it in the menu. the only difference between the old and new car was that the old one was FSD (which never actually FSD'd).
I would think that EPA would be based using any default setting, trying to determine the worst-case setting seems a little bit difficult to choose when there are so many other possible setting.Tesla never explained the deleted option and some people speculate that EPA mileage ratings are now based on the worst-case setting which led Tesla to disable the poorer performing regen options in order to boost EPA scores.
IOW, I think Tesla might bring back regen adjustment options once they have some time to tune them.
I have said that here many times before and fully agree. The cars were obviously designed in California where they don't have to drive in the shitty North East US snow/ice storms.There was a thread on twitter by Green where he got the box on a model 3 crashed in the snow. It appeared that the driver let off the throttle and as soon as he did, the rear axle locked up for a split second when regen kicked in and it caused him to spin and crash. I don't drive in the snow, but it seems that they need to leave the option in there specifically for that type of scenario.
I agree - I still don't know what people would do in this situation. I turn mine down when I have to drive on ice/snow because it can create an unsafe condition in the regular setting.I have said that here many times before and fully agree.

The overwhelming majority of the crashed Tesla's I have seen where they spun out of control have had bald rear tires. You would be amazed at how neglectful people are of basic maintenance. Of course, this is only exacerbated in inclement weather. I think that is a much bigger issue than anything else.I seriously doubt regen could cause the car to oversteer on ice. It doesn't just blindly slam on full regen - the traction control is always operating and providing vastly better braking than any ABS system ever could.
As regen is ramped up it will detect slippage faster than any car in the world ever has and will immediately back off accordingly to stay just below the skid threshold. All that in addition to one of the most advanced stability control systems ever. If you manage to spin one of these things it's because you are trying to drive in conditions that are simply not feasible with your tires.
I'd love to be proven wrong though, and with a half-million 3/Y's being driven on ice every day surely there must be at least one example of a Tesla oversteering in drivable conditions, right? Anyone know of one?
Have you driven one on ice? I speak from experience - On slush/ice, hopping off the throttle to slow down has caused significant loss of grip and lack of stability.I seriously doubt regen could cause the car to oversteer on ice.

I'll miss this. When I see something strange near the road, I move my right foot to the brake pedal. I do this to be able to brake faster if it turns out the strange thing is a moose or something. That doesn't mean I want to decelerate with max regen.
I guess I could start driving like an American (left foot on the brake), but then I'll be handicapped when I use a stick shift.
I let my father in law test drive my M3, and the car kept throwing up these warnings. Turns out he was using his left foot to brake while still applying pressure to the accelerator. I had never seen anyone do it before either, but unless you were watching their feet I guess you wouldn’t realize it!Driving like "an American"... No idea what that means and I know of no-one who uses left foot for the break.

Yes, because engine breaking... electric motors don't have inherent breaking unless using regen, which is modulated... Up to the point of not being on.Have you driven one on ice?
