2018 Nissan Leaf owner here driving with e-pedal, essentially a single pedal driving from movement to complete stop. I've driven from summer conditions down to -10dC (14dF) conditions. For winter, the car is on squishier winter tires. This confuses the traction control unit enough to cut out regen on full pedal lift off and switch over to caliper brakes, still single pedal. The car still slows and comes to a complete stop, but deceleration is much stronger with regen. I've adapted to no longer fully lift off the pedal, expecting a more gentle deceleration, providing a more consistent stopping distance. The brake pedal still responds normally and it gets used in surprise situations. Even at -10dC (14dF), the regen operates similar compared to warmer temps with the Leaf. At -30dC (-22dF) the battery heater supposedly kicks in, but have not taken the car into those kinds of conditions. I would think it's a software update on the Tesla to kick on the battery warmers in colder climates for consistent regen. Or software update to engage the brakes when regen isn't available. |
