dream drive when battery is 100%

[newlucidguy]

if I charge my car fully then use dream drive pro shortly thereafter, how does dream drive pro slow the car if needed? e.g. if regen is significantly reduced or even not available, how is the car slowing itself when needed? I assume it's not applying the friction brake (esp b/c no brake lights were indicated when the car slowed). I'm also assuming it can't apply regen b/c the battery is full and there's no where to send that regen energy. so, what's it doing? I was driving on dream drive pro (hands-free) the other day on a full battery and it definitely had to slow the car a little but no brake lights went on when the car slowed so it could not have been friction brakes. But I also assume it can't be regen. So....?

The car will use friction brakes when needed. The brake light will come on when decelerating at a certain rate. In your case, maybe it was still using regen. When manual braking the brake light comes on and when under control of DDPro, maybe it’s based on deceleration.

good to know it'll use friction as needed. ty. yeah maybe deceleration wasn't sufficient to indicate the brake lights (pretty sure they must be indicated when friction brake is used, regardless of rate of deceleration).

100% battery does just give reduced/minimal regen, not 0 regen.
