Brake Regen vs Pads feel?

[jsaccio]

Just curious if you are able to feel the difference in the brake pedal between when regen starts and when the pads are being used?

I haven’t. But the braking feel is very strong With the motor regen. Have to reset my braking feel when I get back in my 911. Very different.

I can't tell. I can see the re-gen level on the power meter and watch it go deep or not while braking...can't feel any point where it "cuts in" with the pads. Very well done.

Thanks for the input.

only when coming to the final moments before stopping.
the physical pads can come on pretty strong right before you actually stop....but under normal conditions of slowing down...i can't feel a difference.

i was also asking myself. I use the regeneration. only at the very final moment when about to stop, I feel a very strong braking that always susprises me; : I don't press harder.

I'm having a harder time than expected switching between the Macan EV's brakes and my other (tiny sports) car's brakes. I don't completely understand it. The Macan's brakes seem much more sensitive and stronger reacting faster, so I have to depress the brake pedal harder to get the same result. The irony here is that my tiny sports car has almost half the stopping distance.

the same for me : i have a 718 too. I had the feeling the 718 brakes were quite strong compared to other brands. Then I got the macan & it was like I had to really press the 718 brakes to have some effect ;-)
When I will have to drive a "normal" car, I will have to be very very cautious with brakes & distance...
