Increase Brake Light Activation Sensitivity

When I’ve driven cars with traditional brakes in the past, I would touch my brake pedal on the highway when coasting and approaching traffic up ahead just enough to turn the brake lights on, not even necessarily even slow the car down yet, to warn drivers behind me. When using the regen braking in the Tesla and approaching traffic ahead in a proper, controlled manner, the brake lights don’t come on until you really begin to come to a stop. The only way to get them to come on is to slow down fairly rapidly, which is not always necessary. I often find myself looking at the screen to see when the lights come on, and it is always very late.

Advanced warning to drivers behind you that you will be slowing down is more important now than ever with the amount of texting and driving.

I think when regen braking is active, even slightly, for a sustained amount of time and the car is slowing down by even a few mph, the brake lights should come on sooner.
