Not the case in my FE as of yesterday. That sounds like you want to bring it in for a check at the dealer.
In the meantime, how much green bar do you get on B mode?

Regen brake issue
Hey all. I’ve had my 1st Ed for a little over 2 months now. It has about 3600 mi on it and has developed an issue with the regen brakes. Before, I was able to fill the green energy bar entirely by feathering the brakes and coming to a slow, smooth stop. Now I can only fill a tiny amount of the green bar using the same technique. I swear the car isn’t coasting as smoothly as before either. Anyone else have this issue? I’m in SoCal and temps here hover between 80F-90F and my car had about 50% charge when I first noticed it. I never really charge it above 80% Any guesses as to how to fix it? I looked at the tires and nothing seems to be lodged in the wheel well or anything. TIA!
edit: If it’s some weird error code that’s causing this issue, would clearing out the codes fix it?

It general, fault codes indicate that a problem / failure has occurred. They do not cause the problem, they only document it. Clearing the codes would erase the record of the problem, but the underlying problem would still be there.edit: If it’s some weird error code that’s causing this issue, would clearing out the codes fix it?
Exactly. It's like reseting a circuit breaker in your home, whereas you really need to first correct the underlying issue.

I get about half when lifting off to stop at a stop light in B mode. In D mode, I can get the bar to fill entirely when exiting to a stop light from the highway. I have a service scheduled for next Tuesday. Hopefully it‘ll be an easy fixNot the case in my FE as of yesterday. That sounds like you want to bring it in for a check at the dealer.

Those two observations sound like regen is working correctly.I get about half when lifting off to stop at a stop light in B mode. In D mode, I can get the bar to fill entirely when exiting to a stop light from the highway. I have a service scheduled for next Tuesday. Hopefully it‘ll be an easy fix
I have noticed that I do not get full regen at slower speeds, I need to be going maybe 30-40 mph before letting off sends the green bar all the way to the left of the battery symbol.
Same issue here . Sometimes when i over 60km/h it becomes even like D mode … it have been after ive changed my tires to the winter , but its not so cold in my country its +10c. Cant understand how and why and will be very appreciated if i find answers here.
