Regen thoughts

[Ryrub]

I'm coming from a Tesla Model S-does anyone feel like the Regen even on HIGH isn't quite aggressive enough?

What state of charge are you at? I find the regen very aggressive on high and nearly never use my brakes anymore, but if you're near 100% it lowers regen significantly.

80% or lower and it's not bad but doesn't slow down as quickly as my model S. Just have to adjust is all but it seems Lucid is leaving a little meat on the bone there efficiency-wise!

Speaking of EVs in general, some say that minimal regeneration is better for highway efficiency, while maximum regen is better for city driving. For engineering purposes it's just a choice of what regeneration level makes the car feel right in the opinion of the designers.

I feel like I noticed a significant change sometime during the last flurry of updates. I noticed when I enter an exit ramp at highway speeds, and presumably if I was cruising and turned off ACC, that the regen is not as strong as it was before. I was surprised how loosely it rolled down the ramp initially. This is probably a good thing because it was pretty harsh coming out of ACC, I just have to adapt to it.

At speeds below 50 I find the regen pretty spot on and almost never use my brakes.

This is my first EV so I do not have experience to compare it to others though.

My method is to gently press the accelerator until the car speeds up slightly, then turn off ACC and ease off the accelerator.

Yup, exactly what I did after the first time. Saves you from brake checking someone behind you.

I thought the regen was not as strong recently too because I used to not use my brake at all and finding myself having to use slightly no. When coming out of ACC I found it helpful to use accelerator to override a little and then hit the button to turn off so it doesn't jolt you.
