In a Camry Hybrid, the "tachometer" has a charging section, to show how much of the regeneration you're using when braking. Above the crawl speed, it also trims the car speed as regenerative braking. Pressing the brake pedal increases regenerative braking - up to maximum, and engages the mechanical brakes at some point. I'd hope Teslas aren't wasting all of their stopping energy as brake heat, and instead regain some through regeneration as well. Ideally, both braking systems would be combined to maximize stopping ability. However not combining them might explain the Model 3's abysmal (longer than an F-150!) stopping distance. > antilock breaks. Break is what the car does when the brakes don't work. Petals will be on the flowers if you don't press the pedal. English is fun.
