Good and fair review. I think the brake lights come on with the regen' braking. Version 9 just released, which improves and adds new features. Software updates a BIG plus!
I’m surprised neither of you have noticed that when the brake lights come on through regen or using the brake pedal the little picture of the car on the screen shows it’s brake lights coming on. I believe it’s the braking ‘g force’ that activates them.
Regenerative breaking does in fact turn on the rear brakes. It depends on how fast you're going and how much negative acceleration is being generated. You can confirm this by looking at the avatar of the car on the instrument cluster. The lights on the car reflect what the rest of the world sees, even when you apply the brakes yourself.
I did speak to Tesla in Reading and they told me that f the negative/regenerative braking results in decreasing the speed by 40%, the rear brake lights come up. It's a bit worrying as any minor braking efforts at lower speeds during city or school runs, tend to go unnoticed by the drivers behind. Happy to be corrected.
I HATE Tesla. They have such a hype around them but there are soo many better cars (electric or not) out there. The amount of gimmicks included, the build quality and the fact that Tesla owners boast about how their car can drive itself.... WHEN IT CANT. Those people should have their car taken from them as they are more of a danger behind the wheel. My Merc has all the same features (including autonomous driving) and yet I get 750 miles out of one tank of fuel, the infotainment system works and when I order a new one I'm not having to worry about what colour of door cards they have put in. Rant over. I must have got up on the wrong side this morning. Good video and I do respect what Tesla are trying to create with their cars.
Nice and rare review with a right hand driving Tesla
Thorough review!
Enjoyed working with you again
Good work
Likewise! I'm very impressed with my first all electric experience!
Good and fair review.

Thanks for clarifying the regen braking issue.

Thanks for letting us know! Like I said I only had the car for 24 hours. I'm sure I would have noticed that if I had it for longer.
Amazing review, I love this car
Thanks! It has really grown on me too!
I like the navigation demonstration!

I thought you were going to open the rear door on that tight parking spot that would be interesting to see
Shame you didn’t get to try out Version 9 update it sure is fun
I would have liked to explore it's features. Maybe I'll get to check out future updates
Galaxy89cars ooohh TeslAtari is the best made my dad love his even more
What do you for a job besides UA-cam I like I depth video best I’ve seen 👍🏼
UA-cam is my job and thanks!
Do you have to pay to charge it
Not this car as it's a P100d purchased when the old tesla regs and free supercharging existed.
Give me your telsa if you don't want it

Haha fair criticisms and besides, it'd good to have a more well-rounded debate.
Nice reply. I will be in a better mood for the next video... probably.
Next one will be of a Lambo...so hopefully :)
in that case ill definitely be in a better mood. I'm guessing its a rather large, four door Lambo.
You may well be right...
