Original 2019 Long Range RWD Model 3 (310 miles). I've noticed a significant reduction in the maximum regen along with a corresponding reduction in how quickly the vehicle begins to slow down during one pedal driving, all due to the software updates earlier this year (the last 2-3 months). In particular, the max regen that is created when you completly remove your foot from the accelator. This is very noticable at higher speeds (50, 60, 70 MPH). Not only do I get much less regen, I end up having to press the brake pedal to not overshoot turns or run past crosswalks and into the intersection.
It also feels like there is no longer an "instant" deceleration. It feels like there are several seconds of idle cruising before the car begins to slow down. The 'deceleration' ramp also feels less aggressive. It feels like it takes 2-3 seconds before the car is decelerating at the previous "instant' deceleration rate - and the MAX deceleration rate, and corresponding regen feels 20% less aggressive (ballpark guesstimate). Any other original LR RWD owners notice this reduced regen after software updates? Wondering if this is a RWD vs AWD phenomenon.
