    I am a Honda Clarity PHEV owner. We recently traded our 2018 Clarity in for a 2020 model but the new one does not control the downhill set speed like the 2018 did.

    I'm curious if the Model 3 controls downhill speed or not?

    On an 8% down grade, regeneration will smoothly bring the car to a stop. It is easier to use the cruise control to control speed regardless of grade.

    Yes. If you are going downhill, you can set the cruise control and it will keep the set speed.

    Thank you. My 2020 Clarity does not maintain set speed going downhill. Very annoying after having the first Clarity which did a fine job at that.
