Brake light status?

[L-Dude]

Is there an indicator to show when your brake lights are coming on during regen braking? (Note: I've spent the required 20 minutes searching for this answer--both here and in the manual--and couldn't figure it out.)

My understanding is the brake light automatically illuminates whenever regen braking engages.

Yes, but is there any indication to the driver that the brake lights are coming on?

In drive assist, the car in the animated view shows brake lights. Outside of drive assist, there is no indication. I agree that it would be nice to have.

I posed this same question a few months ago with the Gravity.
This question today reminded me I should ask the new Gravity owners.
See this post.

Agree. When they first added that feature in the drive assist modes, I immediately wrote to Lucid and asked them to include that little diagram at all times. There’s plenty of room for it.

Interestingly, there appears to be some threshold that has to be met during any form of braking for the brake lights to come on (at least per the display in drive assist). There are definitely times when I'm coming up behind a slower moving vehicle and my car is noticibly slowing (HA or ACC) and the brake lights do not illuminate in the graphic. I assume the threshold is set to be similar to an ICE vehicle coasting but not braking. Just a guess though

I think the threshold is a certain deceleration rate specific by regulation.

There's a regulation standard? I had no idea
