Tesla has been religious about never blending regen and mechanical braking. The accelerator only controls the motors, the brake pedal only controls the brakes. They’ve broken that somewhat now with one-pedal driving mode. The only way they could make regen feel consistent with a cold or full battery would be to blend in friction braking to make up the difference, which is just not something Tesla is into doing.

My BMW i3 did this really well, FWIW.
