Hi folks, just wanted to get a bit of guidance on "those dots". The ones that show when your regen or power is reduced.

At the moment it's pretty cold here in the UK (around 7c), but still above freezing. However, my car (a brand new Model 3 Performance) seems to have quite a few dots on the left side (regen?) and this evening 5 dots on the right side (power?).

I've only been doing short trips of around 5 - 6 miles the last few days, which hasn't been enough to reduce the amount of dots showing, but is this normal for this temperature? My SOC was probably around 60% today. Higher yesterday.

I've just moved from a Jaguar I-Pace, which never seemed to limit the regen or power at these temps. So whether that means Tesla are being kinder to the battery, or there's some other reason to use less regen and reduced power, I dunno? I think the Jag had to be nearer 2c or freezing before it would limit regen, and even at those temps I don't remember it limiting power.

FWIW, I have the Tesla in the higher of the two regen modes (normal, I think), because I like the one pedal driving style, though in the Tesla it's back to two pedal driving at the moment, due to the lack of regen...

Also, whilst the power is limited, is it going to "hurt" the car to put my foot down? As in, flat to the floor? Or am I better off warming it up slowly?

Thanks
