    New owner here. I find myself often when I start the car, I change the regen to 0 and auto bake hold to on. Is there a way to make these settings the default every time I start the car?

    Lols, I meant auto brake hold.

    Unfortunately, no. The default regen level for each drive mode can be set in the infotainment screen settings, but cannot be set to zero. The Auto Hold resets to "off" with each power down.

  5. Interesting. I had not noticed regen mode does not start out at zero. Using the paddles is second nature now, so perhaps that is why I never notice! Ceetee, perhaps before long you won't notice either.

    Yeah, it's starting to become muscle memory.

    It's my understanding that regen set 0 still does full regen when using brake to slow down, unless you press the brake hard, then it'll have to use both regen and brakes to slow down.

    So seems more efficient to coast (regen 0) and use normal brakes to slow down.
