You still don't get blended braking.🤦🏻♂️
In a Tesla, if the driver touches the brake pedal, all the energy is lost as it disconnect the regen side. It's all physical brake with the brake pedal on a Tesla. Two completely different circuit.
In every other hybrid and EV, the first part of the travel of the brake pedal is regen braking, where the kinetic energy is captured to recharge the battery. Most cars can do a stronger regen braking there than what the liftoff regen Tesla can do with their throttle pedal. Now if one needs more braking force than the regen capability can handle, they just continue applying more braking force to the brake pedal and the physical brake will start helping, without disconnecting the regen circuit, the electric motors are still recapturing the kinetic energy in the process. Basically the car is always regenerating when braking whether one stays in the regen only portion or not.
It's a completely natural and transparent process. Go pedal for go, Stop pedal for stop.
Been trying to explain to you for a few years now. But you just think one is trying to trash Tesla.
Elon didn't have the time and money to develop blended braking back then, that's why he installed 2 separate circuit for braking. One is completely conventional hydraulic system, then other is pure software using the motor to regenerate. Not the most efficient way to do things, but it's the cheapest and quickest.
Blended braking means a dual function brake pedal instead of a dual function throttle pedal. People naturally uses the brake pedal to brake, it's more proper to engineer things that way. Pressing the brake pedal engages the regenerative function on the motors, the limit on energy captured is different on different cars, but once that threshold is reached, the car start adding in friction brakes to help with the braking event, all the while the motors are kept at the top limit of energy capture.
It's too late for them to do it now, but if you give Elon and do-over, he will develop a proper blended braking system.
