Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Regen breaking

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

How much drag does it feel when you lift off the accelerator pedal? Like, it’s going to come to a complete dead stop very, very quickly?

 

I wonder if cars like this (I’m talking street cars here, not F1) are designed for people who left-foot brake. Like maybe not such a dramatic lift-your-entire-foot-off-of-the-gas-pedal and then jamming on the brake, but a gentle relaxing on the “gas” and slightly pressing on the brake, more-or-less at the same time.

 

As the years pass and the manual transmission disappears off the road, nearly everyone are driving automatics now and I’ve noticed, especially with younger, newer drivers that they’re using their left feet for braking. How can I tell? From the continuous blinking of the brake lights, yet not noticeable drop in speed as they drive along a busy route. It’s not that they’re trying to slow down, but only moderate their speed as they go along. It’s incredibly annoying.

Subject: [Ferrari] Regen breaking

 

I have learned what F1 drivers experience (not to the extent that F1 do) when the commentators talk regenerative breaking. In my Tesla ( standard regen ) I normally take my foot off the accelerator and the Tesla deaccelerates like I am braking. I am not sure if depends on the state of charge of the battery or the temperature or a combination of the two, but there is NO or not desernable regen braking. There is a message when I first start to drive that ‘regen braking is limited ‘, not after I have experienced full regen braking during my drive then when I take my foot off the accelerator NO regen. It would be nice to have the message ‘regen braking limited ‘ on the screen, so I would be braking harder. Just an observation.
