Is regenerative brake adjustable?

Hello,
When I tested an EQB a few month back the regenerative brake was very strong. Releasing the accelerator would not continue with coasting similar to gas engines, it was followed by relatively strong regenerative braking. I would have to keep the accelerator pressed to allow for a normal coasting.
Anybody knows if this regenerative braking is adjustable?

Thank you.

Yes, it’s easily adjustable by the paddles on backside of the steering wheel. There are multiple modes of adjustment, including one where it “coasts.”

D+ D D- are the three available settings you use the paddle shifters to adjust

Correct, and FWIW, there's also a D Auto mode that uses map and traffic data to guesstimate the driver's desired regen.

Here are all the modes as explained in the manual:

I ordered in June - production date said to have been 12/3. No update from dealer.

Can you give us your order production delivery date history/representations?

I feel like it could be days or months before I get the car. Really have no idea.
