Did anyone looked at display while doing full power regen?
Is it still exactly 60kW or does it go lower (i.e. higher power)?
Pics, videos would be great

Will watch, but can say that I've never noted it going much, if any, above 60. Feel wise, I still feel like there could be a lot higher max Regen than what it does now before it would start to feel like too much.My P85D will go beyond 60 kW on regen (hard to tell exactly where but I'm gonna guess I've seen it up to 70 kW on the regen scale).
No pictures, no video, sorry.
I think they want to save the battery. Fast charging can easily cause battery degradation. Early Model S owners also say they were told not to use SuperCharger often because of this.

What degrades the battery is heat. Almost no LiIon batteries out there get active cooling while charging. So they heat up, faster the charging, more heat buildup and more degradation. But when you actively remove heat there is much much less degradation. In the end it can be so that faster charging degrades LESS than slower charging because battery is exposed to a bit higher temps for shorter time.I don't think they can say it officially. If you read about Li-Ion batteries the message is always that the faster you charge the more the battery will degrade. Tesla and Panasonic have probably solved much/part of the problem but it's hard to believe they would have solved it fully. It would be nice to see some test results either from Tesla or from some independent party.
Yes, I expect regen to max out only at and maybe even only above legal HW speeds.Coming down from high speed with full regen and mine goes over (under?) 60 kW.
Tesla has never said that frequent Supercharging accelerates battery degredation. Officially, Tesla has always maintained that you can Supercharge as much as you want, as often as you want without any undue harm to the battery. However, they have of course always maintained that frequently charging to high SOC will cause accelerated degredation.
In fact, when the Supercharger was introduced back in--I think--October of 2012, Elon or JB was asked this very thing, and the response was to Supercharge as often as you'd like without undue battery pack harm.
This is my recollection as well. Never remember Tesla saying not to supercharge often. If the pack can handle 90 kW at a SpC it can definitely handle > 60 kW of regen.
So, regen stops just a bit under halfway between 60 and that "unmarked 120kW" mark.
How is the power put in the battery? I'm assuming (guessing) that the motor creates alternating current during regen....how is that AC turned into DC for the battery? There is no regen difference between single and dual chargers so the chargers can't be doing it. Or am I wrong and the motor generates DC?
