Nice review, great level of detail.
I think the issue with regen is not having experience of how it works and the number of options available a day is not enough to get used to it. I understand that getting used to something shouldn’t be a part of driving but it is part of owning an EV and, once you’re used to it, can be a helpful tool. I’ve had it for several years now, so have the opposite problem, I get in a car without it and I find pressing the brakes far too hard for what I’m used to doing.
It’s interesting that you feel the software is a step backwards. I do worry about how auto software is heading in a direction that’s almost in conflict with the simple principle of driving safely. Does anyone have a ‘change this whilst driving’ test?

I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
