Why doesn’t the recuperation (re-Gen) mode automatically come on in range mode?

for daily street driving it makes no difference and Porsche is wrong about one pedal driving - it should be on by default for Range, Normal, and off for Sports and Sports Plus…

No, it should not be on by default for Range/Normal mode!

I do think there should be setting for every drive mode, so it can be set.

After a month driving, I completely changed my mind about one-pedal. Fast acceleration to the desired speed and then simply let go to enjoy the effortless and silent... is the best!

I agree!!

I have learned to especially like no regen on uphill freeway (motorway) exits.
And the car is more comfortable for passengers when it simply coasts when you take your foot off the accelerator.

The real issue is that the car doesn't remember your recup settings. It's slightly annoying having to hit the button every damn time I switch modes. Really a miss by Porsche there.

It feels like something the engineers said the car didn't need but marketing insisted there be SOME kind of recup so they just threw it in.

throttle control is _THE KEY_ input to holding a drift - I know I've learned this from years of ice driving school w/Porsche - adding regeneration to the throttle control system I can envision it makes controlling a drift and holding a drift much much harder…

you can not overstate the importance of minute and precise throttle control when one is holding a drift in a vehicle, too much or too little and you lose the drift (the difference between too much and too little is very very small) - adding "regeneration braking" into this mix can only be a bad thing…

it's a driver control thing.

While I love to drive my car hard on occasion, 99% of my actual driving is commuting, going to the store, picking up kids etc (as I suspect is the case for 99% of Taycan drivers).
For this I would much prefer one pedal regen braking like in my Rivian, and for this setting to stay on until I manually turn it off.

The (quickly learned) solution to this is to ease off the throttle instead of just removing your foot entirely at 70mph. Have driven maybe 1 million miles or more in Porsches, and maybe 250,000 in EV's with regen set permanently on high, I much prefer the EV way of doing it.
