While I love the regenerative braking on the Model S, I really wish it would take the car to a complete stop. I find myself slowing down long before a red light and hoping it will turn green before I have to put my foot on the brake. At stop signs, I have no desire to come to a full stop (although I still do).
Does anyone else feel the same way or is it just my OCD?
Hypermilers use a set of techniques called "driving wihout brakes" to avoid any braking, including regen because deliberately shedding momentum is inefficient. What you are doing is a kind of smart braking where you're trying to make the best of a bad situation and retain as much momemntum as possible, and with no-regen-braking you don't want to hit your brakes and waste all the scrubbed momentum.
When you consider that the more speed you can keep the more speed people behind you can keep, no it's not a problem. However, note that simply by regen down to a low speed, final braking to a dead stop won't work the brakes very hard.
Since this thread has veered into hypermiling territory, let me throw in a couple of key tips (Golden Rules) for safety and efficiency:
1) Anticipatory focus: see everything, as soon as possible by focusing ahead and ancitipating potential maneuvers.
2) Buffering: leave plenty of space (actually time) to the vehicle in front; 2 seconds is a minimum, 4 seconds is now recommended, but the more the merrier
Do those two well and you'll be braking (and regening) less without even trying just because it gives you more space and time, which leads to action instead of reaction, with better decision-making and fewer sharl maneuvers.
(Newton's Third Law of Driving Too Close: every action has an excessive reaction.)
