CT Regen Settings?

[Jhodgesatmb]

I have been wandering through the settings looking for things and I cannot find the regen strength setting. Does anyone know where it is or whether it was removed? Thanks.

It was removed. Roll mode also was removed. There is only one regen setting and driving mode (hold).

Yes, it was unfortunately removed; so was creep.

In the Off-Road modes you can adjust regen as well as roll or hold mode. On road, there is not a lot of point in it, they want all Tesla to behave in a predictable manner. Probably their data revealed accidents that were caused by the different behavior from vehicle to vehicle when people didn't have their profile settings transfer.

I'm so glad they took away creep, that was the silliest setting ever, based on nothing more than validating the behavior of an ICE automatic transmission. It was actually creepy!

And yet, it doesn't behave in a predictable manner. Roll mode was always more consistent for me than hold mode. That's why I kept my model Y on roll mode. Every time I come to a stop in hold mode, I have to feather it differently. In roll mode it behaved the same every time.

And I tested this in my Y before I traded it, hold mode in the Y behaved the same as it does in the truck.

I know you love that tesla removed all of these features, but the rest of us don't have to.

i can report that the option to "apply braking when regen reduced" works very well. I charged to 100% one time, and the one-pedal driving was still very natural.

I see a lot of threads about what people love and what people hate. People kind of coming at other people for not feeling the same way. Why can’t it simply be that there are going to be things you like and others don’t. I’m not say this at anyone on this thread but just in general.

I will say the Cybertruck seems to be way more likely to reduce regen than our 2020 X. We live about 800’ above our little towns “main area” so we are always in regen for the first 1-2 miles after leaving the house. I have noticed that the Cybertruck is often in reduced regen mode when I first leave the house (even when only parked over night on the garage) when the X only does it on very cold days. I’m curious to see if the warmer days change that.

IIRC, Tesla removed regen and creep settings because of updated EPA requirements dictating to use the least efficient car settings for efficiency rating and I'm soo glad those silly options are gone. If you think about it, these options, same as displaying battery charge state in miles instead of % or measuring charging in mph, just relics of old technology and habits, less efficient and less convenient. Whoever is not one pedal driving, charging at 27 mph, or rolling is just an ...

"I'm so glad that other people can't have the options that they want" is my favorite tesla cultist take on this crap. It really helps us filter out who is going to have a reasonable take from people who will always assert that every bad decision tesla made must be the correct one.

And, in this particular case, it's the EPAs fault for the rule change. But this is a very common thing on these forums. Only one time out of one hundred that it comes up did it happen to be the EPAs fault.

There's value in limiting the number of available user options. "The tyranny of choice"

Technically it is not the EPA's fault. The EPA correctly said if you have optional regen modes which reduce your expected range, then the advertised expected range needs to incorporate these regen modes. I think this is very fair and I think the EPA needs to go farther with these types of methods. For example, for plug in hybrids, the EPA estimate should take into consideration the real life usage of the plug in, not what would happen when optimal plugging is used.

Tesla elected to remove the regen settings, because they felt having a higher advertised range was more important than giving drivers the regen choice. I have to assume they had the data and the majority of drivers used hold anyway, but that's my guess. Tesla could have just as easily kept all modes and report lower range accurately, they didn't want to do this.
