Auto Regen?

[Perry]

I don’t think it’s pedantic at all as many people seem to think regen is something natural for the electric motor to do. It is, however, part of the control, just as much as motoring torque is (with the exception that a PM motor is capable of passive braking; however the amount is still an engineering decision; and it’s not particularly applicable in an EV as it doesn’t use passive braking as the regen is actively controlled).

And no, I certainly didn’t know you meant “arbitrarily” which is a completely different word. And yet also incorrect if the engineers had a reason for its selection (as it is, then, by definition, not arbitrary).

I'm sorry, but if we're at the point where I need to teach you the English language, then I think we're at a dead end here. For some reason, you've been arguing in bad faith this entire thread and I seriously don't see how to even continue this discussion like that.

?

Teach me English where? Which part?

I’m not arguing in bad faith anywhere. On any post.

To you specifically, the regen level is neither artificial nor arbitrary. If you still think so, then you may continue to be wrong. Okay for me.?

I consider that a different argument from the one that I was addressing. I was referring more to comments along the lines of "I don’t see why they can’t just let us decide for ourselves how we want to drive" - I thought that did not consider the opportunity cost of implementing the feature.

Ah, ok. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

@EVBHP - have you tested whether auto regen mode will stop the car?

 

[f1eng]

An intern could do that on their lunch break (figuratively).

If it is that trivial why don't you write the code yourself and e-mail it to them?

Not tried it. Anyone else know?

It doesn’t. It doesn’t even generate enough decel to trigger the brake lights.

In that case, perhaps your father simply happened to walk through an elderberry thicket on the day I encountered him in the village square. And I think hamsters are quite cute, so it was intended as a compliment to your mother.

Try it and get back to us.

It will trigger the brake lights if you are following someone braking. Auto Regeneration will follow a car down a mountain without you ever touching the brake (but it may be too close for your comfort). Have done it for fun in a Porsche club outing.

Indeed it was way too close for my comfort, ‘cause i tried it and chickened out. In the CT, especially in the dark, you can easily see if the brake lights are on. I only tried auto regen twice, both times in the service of this forum. (On, obviously, the same topic.)

I'd like a combined Regen and Auto Regen setting.
Hyundai is way ahead of Porsche in features like this, regeneration level can be conveniently adjusted by steering wheel paddle.
Yes, the GT has this, but add ACC and it gets removed.

Exactly.

Not even close! It does vary the regen somewhat depending on how close you are to the car in front but when slowing to a stop it kind of lets go so you'd easily run into the back of a stationary car.

If you want your Taycan to slow to a stop behind other traffic, and then start again and speed up, keeping a safe distance behind, you need ACC. For me ACC is essential; InnoDrive less so.
