It's been a couple months since I drove one, but I'm pretty sure I did most of the drive in D using the brake pedal to slow/regen and got pretty far into regen. I think the most I saw was 30 or 40kw of regen, but I was driving an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar area, so most of my focus was outside the windshield. I don't see why it wouldn't max out regen with the brake pedal in D. At worst, maybe the friction brakes start biting towards the max.

I'm with you on the coasting and creep. I don't really care if they have that as the default, but it shouldn't be an issue to make it driver adjustable like some other EVs.
