Regen Brake Lights

Under strong regen braking, do the brake lights come on to warn drivers behind you?

Had my wife follow me to make absolutely sure, and they do, indeed.

We did the same, too,
The brake light would come on when the regen brake is engaged , but for the first few "milliseconds" when I let go of the pedal, I could feel the car beginning to slow down but the light not on yet.
My problem with regen is I slow down the traffic too much, not keeping up with the flow. At least, that's according to my wife, who was following me in another car.

The trick is to ease off, again, like a golf cart. If you lift off the car decelerates strongly, Again personally not my favorite but many Tesla owners are well used to it and like it. So much so that in road salting states instead of brake wear the cars suffer from brake corrosion problems.

i've been using Strong regen exclusively for about 8 days now and love it. Its like anything new, you just have to practice using it. The only time I find I need to actually add some breaking is approaching a stop sign on a steep downhill. The cars momentum and weight is a bit too much for just Regen.
