When this happens, braking power is reduced suddenly and one needs to step harder on the brake pedal. Is everyone experiencing this?

 

I wouldn't say I have to "step harder"...

... instead I would say that depending on the circumstances it takes a bit of modulating of the brake pedal pressure to make the transition a little smoother. With practice, not even the passengers will be able to notice the regen to hydraulic transition.

Yes, it's just the way it works. You'll get used to it, and before long it'll seem "normal". It IS something to be aware of, though.

 

Yeah, you will get used to it quickly. The only time I notice it (in other words: find it annoying) is on icy roads when I don't want to use my brakes. The car slows down well in "S" up until about 10mph and then I have no choice but to brake for the last few feet.

 

Yes you will definitely adjust to it and not even realize that it is happening. Just give it another month or so.

 

Yes, sometimes it's very dramatic. It's more noticeable if I'm tailing someone a little too closely. I consider it a reminder that I need to back off!

Ditto everyone.

 

I notice this more in the very early part of my drive. After everything has warmed up, it seems to nearly go away.

I must say that when the regen suddenly cuts off, you do have to watch it if you are not firmly on the brake pedal yet.

 

When I feel the Regen cut off, I immediately pump the brake to reactivate it.
