My sense is that the brake lights flash on and off as you re-gen more than what would be typical in a regular car. In fact, the other day I was driving in heavy freeway traffic where the speed would range up and down from about 40 MPH to 70 MPH with the ebb and flow of traffic. There was a guy fairly close behind me and I could see him waving his hands wildly at me in the rear view mirror and I think he thought I was being an ass and tapping the brakes constantly.
Right there's the reason for regen braking lights.
FMy point was that I think the lights flick on and off more than what might be considered "normal".
Aren't the regen lights amber? I seem to recall observing rear camera screen at night with amber (regen) changing to red (brakes). Or was it just a dream?

More likely he was excited to see a Model S.
It's easy to tell when the brake lights are on when you drive at night with the rear camera on. I doubt that your brake lights are constantly flashing. Regardless, the opinion of tailgaters is their problem, not mine.
Aw, gee, then what are all those extra wires for?
I need to get out more (at night), clearly!

The deceleration from max regen feels less pronounced at higher speeds. My guess is that the higher rotational speed of the rotor (higher frequency) provides higher kW regen with less decelerating force. Some EE can reply and confirm or refute.
