Interesting. Thanks!!

So on cruise control, it applies the regenerative braking to keep from coasting too fast downhill, but is not smooth about it, eh? Seems like something they could "refine" in future models. They've got cars that can park themselves now - they should be able to put logic into the cruise control that lets the actual speed "float" a little rather than the strictly "on & off" type setup you describe.
