The brake lights most certainly come on when you use regen on an electric car. The fact that some of you thought that it was possible that they DON'T is astounding! And then, once you've stopped, you can put your foot on the brake pedal so that the brake lights are on....just like in any other car. -----Original Message----- From: Ferrari [mailto:ferrari-bounces+ferrarilist=pless.com.au [at] ferrarilist.com] On Behalf Of jashburne--- via Ferrari Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2018 10:09 PM To: Peter Pless Cc: The FerrariList Subject: Re: [Ferrari] Regen breaking I’m surprised that the brake lights aren’t programmed to come on when the motor is actively slowing down the car.
