Regenerative Braking Setting

[tchavei]

I've turned off auto recup for the past two days.

I actually prefer it.

I also dumped lane keeping assist.

They're all nice but after a week or two the novelty wears off and you start thinking who's driving after all.

Now the car behaves just like its owner: all over the lanes and late braking.

I love it

Recuperation in auto is horrible, it's not really all that smooth--just ask your passengers. In case anyone is interested, recuperation on and off have different throttle/brake pedal input mappings. So if you drive in one mode for awhile, then in another, driving input is slightly different.

I am confused by the manual and wanted to confirm if the car is actually Coasting or not when the setting is Off. How confusing is this statement: Setting = Off > No display > No coasting. Vehicle rolls (coasting). I think Coasting word should be replaced by Regen word to make any sense. I understand that there is a default Regen on that is all the time or intelligent behind the scenes, then this setting just makes it more so with On and then variable in Auto.

I assume that is an error
Off = coasting

For me it is:
1) Recuperation off for highway cruising, because it's more efficient without being in any way annoying.
2) Poke the steering wheel button to turn on lift-off recuperation when in traffic, or around town, which lets me use the brake pedal less.
3) Never use "Auto" recuperation mode because I don't like the car to decide how much to slow down.

same exact 3 points with mine

Yes, always starts in normal.

Iove the auto option. It will coast when the roads clear, but auto brakes in traffic.

The above quote is from 2023.

Like others, when wanting I.C.E.-style deceleration going into a corner at speed and a sportier suspension setting, I often switch from Normal to Sport or Sport+. I was surprised that the recuperation did not go back to “Off” when I switched back to Normal. Almost all of my driving is on suburban roads.

Does the car actually control auto-recuperation based on using the crash avoidance technology to determine that “On” is appropriate for the conditions, e.g., traffic congestion.

I came across this Porsche tutorial that validates the quote above and am thinking that this might be of interest to others:

I have and totally enjoy a 2023 Taycan GTS.
