I was wondering ff the brake lights are on, every time you slow down with regen?
Is this in both regen settings? Can you disable this brake light reaction?

Thanks, I'm eagerly awaiting my delivery in june/july. I noticed while driving my ice that I often slow down during driving by
just taking my foot of the gas, but I was thinking it could bug people behind me when I'm in the Tesla, if they see the breaklights
going off and on all the time..

It is time to quit calling these "brake lights". They are "deceleration lights" and indicate what the vehicle is doing, not what your foot is doing.

Going down a steep hill, holding the speed constant with regen, I'm the only car without lit "brake" lights.
However, if the hill were so steep that I had to use a bit of brake to keep my speed, I'm guessing that the "brake" lights would be on.
Same net acceleration, different lights.

If you put the battery charge screen on your main display, it shows a model of your car. The headlights, signal lights and brake lights on this model all work in real time. It shows whether your brake lights are in during deceleration.
I do sometimes worry that a driver behind me at a stop light or something may assume my disappearing brake lights mean I'm accelerating, and rear-end me. For example, if I'm slowing to a stop with regen, at some point the brake lights will go out, and I'll still be slowing. If a driver close behind me isn't paying attention, and assumes that means I'm now accelerating...
I often engine brake on my motorcycles. When I start to slow down I just give my front brake a few taps to engage the brake light. It doesn't come back on until I brake the last 5-10 mph. I have never had or heard of anyone having an issue with it.
