Brakes wiping or hydraulic fade compensation to act as a substitute for adequate braking. Regenerative Braking Whenever Model X is moving and your foot is off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows down Model X and feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery. By anticipating your stops and reducing or removing pressure from the accelerator pedal to slow down, you can take advantage of regenerative braking to increase driving range. Of course, this is no substitute for regular braking when needed for safety. Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively slowing Model X (such as when your foot is completely off the accelerator pedal at highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to alert others that you are slowing down. To Set the Regenerative Braking Level Warning: In snowy or icy conditions You can use the touchscreen to change the Model X may experience traction loss level of regenerative braking: during regenerative braking, particularly when in the Standard setting and/or not 1.

When The Energy app displays real-time feedback you release the accelerator, Model X on the amount of energy being gained by slows down, reducing the need to use regenerative braking.

The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on the Stopping Mode current state of the Battery and the charge level setting that you are using. For example, Regenerative braking decelerates Model X regenerative braking may be limited if the whenever you release the accelerator pedal Battery is already fully charged or if the when driving.
