completely nonsensical. electric cars barely use mechanical brakes if you're using them right. Hell, if you're even a little efficient with your driving you shouldn't have to brake much in a traditional car either (although it will always still be more than with electric regen).

Well I'm sure it all being dependent on millions of individuals doing the right thing always will, despite all the proof to the contrary, work out this time

fortunately for this issue in particular, having regen settings "correct" by default from the factory seems to work everywhere except amerikkka

i'd prefer trains or a ~~fifteen~~ five minute city because my knees aren't going to get better, but if the best yankees can do is misconfigured EVs that's still an improvement for local air quality and noise pollution.

That still doesn't stop people from doing the quarter mile for every intersection, speaking from experience.
