The regen's not as strong as the Bolt, but it's still enough for what's effectively one-pedal driving. It starts to decline at about 10mph and completely drops out at <5mph.

That's what I thought I knew about Tesla regen.
One pedal driving means regen must be really strong even without using brakes.
The brakes are not used to save fuel but rather to save on repair bills.
(My comment you referred to was an extension of the description of regen in my Insight btw,)
