Well this really isn’t an issue, because regen doesn’t have to be FULL regen. Like the I-Pace, it will provide the first 50KW of regen from lifting the accelerator, and the rest comes in as you touch the brakes. Yes its a blended break I understand, but so is the Taycan. So the setting could allow a good usable portion from just lifting accelerator, and only start kicking in the rest when you engage the brake.Because the Taycan has 265kW regen which is equivalent of hitting a regular break quite hard! If you put all this on one pedal and accidentally slip off - happens to me sometimes - you will produce accidents. Different tech level, requires different solutions.
Its a philosophy which I do not mind. And it makes more sense when the brakes are mechanical only. But when they are already blended like in the Taycan I don’t see why the option is not given.
