Wait so the braking force applied by the regen decreases if the vehicle gets hot?

Do you want it to over charge an already hot battery and start a fire too?

susie-laugh God, Teslas are truly the gift that keeps on giving, the pinnacle of car technology. Yes please, I would like my car to catch fire when I brake.

Lmao, Tesla made his rear left brake for the Australian GP. New sponsorship!

[-] djphdk@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

Consistent braking or no battery fire; can't have both.

Truly a pinnacle of engineering.

I think we just expect things to work properly. Maybe a mechanical element that helps normalise these fluctuations.

But yeah, the car bursting into flames and killing the occupant would be fucking hilarious.

The ~~bus~~ cybertruck can't slow down under 50mph or else it will explode

The car's computer should phase in the mechanical disc brakes as the regen braking force decreases to maintain a consistent deacceleration rate while off throttle or braking.

Tesla explicitly doesn’t mix brakes and regen because the transition between the two is always awful. Instead they use confusers to measure how much regen is needed at any given moment and adjusts the resistance based on that.

Between hot/full battery, computers being stupid, and their owners even dumber that’s probably how this dumbass hit a pole.

I've driven a non-Tesla electric car and the regenerative and mechanical braking both worked great and didn't have a startling transition between them. It just worked like I thought the brake pedal should.

After watching some "testing out the self driving features of my Tesla" videos on YouTube, yeah I'd agree with that being the cause of most Tesla related accidents like this. Tesla owners and their cars seem like a terrible combination safety wise.

Yes, that actually is exactly what I want. Because I'd never be dumb enough to get in a tesla lmao

Even in my fake stormworks designs, I have a separate battery/capacitor specifically for regenerative braking that gently bleeds back into the system. Also the regen brakes have their own separate clutch, but that's because I couldn't figure out how to do it otherwise
