Depending on how the car works and if the brake lights are engaged when regen
braking it could be considered a hard braking event and increase the likelihood
of the car behind rear ending you so it’s not clear the insurance company is
wrong in this. But as noted it does depend on factors they l
But releasing the accelerator at any time to cause high regen is the same
as a hard braking event, (a rapid deceleration of the car changing speed)
and a waste of energy unless it is part of an unavoidable stopping event..
Coasting instead of regen will retain double the energy compared to using

Except, I rarely used the brakes at all, but instead used a combination of
high regeneration, cruise control, feathering the accelerator as necessary, and
almost never touched the brakes except to eliminate the "creep" when stopped.
I have both 2.2 million miles driving experience and 53 months
Then again, the driver could be still hard braking. I have heard some
people say that they frequently use the brakes to regen energy to extend
range. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Heavy regen is not free energy, it is exactly the opposite. Yes, it
recovers maybe 55% of keinetic energy compared to
Just to keep the record straight: Tesla turns on the monitoring only for
test drives. Tesla still is the owner and has every right to monitor the
cars it still legally owns.
Once the car is sold, you have to give express permission to allow
monitoring. The default, once the car is sold, is no po

I'm sure the software is badly written, but that's not the main problem.
The whole premise is bogus. It's the insurance company behind it that's

I heard this sentence this weekend and it sums up what I ttry to tell
people in a suscinct way:
Brakes are for STOPPING, not for slowing. If you use the brakes for
slowing you are just throwing energy away and you were going too fast in
the first place.
