That should be the way it works but you’ll note some various stories from others, that this is not entirely correct with the 3. Battery temp and lower charge have not eliminated the issue. At higher speeds there is no regen. It doesn’t kick in until manually breaking to about 20mph.Tires typically have nothing to do with the Regen limitation. The limitation only comes into play due to current pack charge level or temperature. I can confirm that there is no difference in regen limitation between winter or summer tires.
Some notes so far (no snow, just dry warm (17C) / cold (-2C) pavement):
- Very quite tires, quieter so than the stock aeros
- handling very good on dry warm/cold pavement (similar to summer tires, only a slight give)
- I would approximate about 5-10% increase in energy consumption vs. the summers due to higher rolling resistance
Next test, ice & snow...
So, I’m interested to know if when the condidtions are correct for full regen, does it work with the Tesla winter package because it doesn’t with others. A friend of mine alerted me to the issue. He drove to the shop for install and had regen as usual. Hasn’t had it since. Cold, warm, fully charged, half charged, driving right after charging but not more than 80%, dots or no dots. There is no regen above 25 mph. Period. We’ve even confirmed that the standard regen is on and not switched to low. He went to Tesla Friday and was told they don’t know, maybe the car is learning a new grip level.
So there is an issue outside of battery temp and state of charge.
