For a truck that makes so many noises, I'm amazed that I get no audio notification when the battery regen is reduced. This is arguably the only notification I need and it's extremely dangerous without. I drive with the expectation that I can one-pedal drive and cannot be surprised when regenerative braking is reduced or else I may hit something in front of me!

As long as it can be turned off, I would be ok with the add.

I get a notification with sound pretty regularly. If it did it every time and couldn't be turned off, I'd put my truck up for sale.

100%. Driving from a mountain you will see regen reduced on/off a lot. This chiming would drive me crazy if I couldn't turn it off.

The truck shows a notification on the center screen if battery Regen is reduced due to battery charge and it shows you on the meter screen that Regen is reduced. The power meter clearly shows when you have full Regen or reduced Regen.

Plus, you always have access to your friction brake...

Yeah I can see it maybe being useful when it happens the first time, but I'd rather have it be an option. I drive up and down the Colorado mountains a ton and I hit regen limits a dozen times a trip. The constant bing bong would drive me nuts.

That said even with reduced regen it typically will hold speed in most sections of I70 which is a high speed descent, just about the highest amount of regen power you'll see anywhere. If you're on a slower stretch of road you'll run into that issue less.

Last time coming back from skiing (Colorado) and the dang chime in our R1T kept going off once every 5 minutes. It would chime when regen reduction happened from full-regen AND chime again when it changed from one level of reduction to another. Has anyone else experienced this? It was not my favorite.

So you are hearing a chime notification when regen amount changes? Maybe it's just one that doesn't play over music like the blind spot warnings and therefore I don't hear it. I just keep on getting surprised by the truck when it doesn't predictably brake.

Maybe not when regen is reduced, a screen notification is good enough. Maybe a cue that they are going to cut the regen off mid-regen. That's happened to me before when the reduced regen goes from reduced to almost zero. Truck quickly speeds up going downhill and its a bit of a shock.

If they do implement this it better have a toggle to disable it! I 100% DO NOT WANT to hear that nonsense.

The R1T already limits regen way too often, so having a constant audible beep would be agony.

Instead, I'd rather the brakes were blended in when regen is reduced so that the deceleration feel was consistent from one pedal (and could be disabled for the disablers).

Yes. It seems that it chimes at me whenever anything regen related changes. It’s true that I did not have music on that time.

I guess this is a benefit of living in a flat area, I had no idea regen would disable itself mid drive. I've only ever had regen be limited when the battery is at a high SoC. TIL

Mine dings when it's cold out and I first start going. Doesn't ding again to say more regen is available as the battery warms up. I just watch the regen meter to judge how much I can expect to slow down with 1 pedal.
