Now that many have settled into their Lightnings, have you noticed how much range you gain from traditional stop and go, red light/green light brake regen? I don't know if there's an actual way to see on the car how much you've regenerated, but just curious if its noticeable accumulation?
The reason I ask is because rented a Model 3 in Cali last month just to get a feel for an EV (never drove or owned one) and noticed in stop and go traffic i didn't lose any range for at least 10 miles (I stopped paying attention and forgot the miles i started at lol). Also, after going down a long foothill road, it added somewhere around 7 miles of range. I'm hoping my SR may be able to squeeze out an extra 20 or 30 miles from regen for long days of back and forth drives will little or no time to stop and charge.
(Sidenote to Ford- if there isn't a way to monitor how much regen you've accumulated during a drive, I think it would be a good feature to add to the instrument cluster. It'll show people how much/little they can regen based on adjustments to their daily route driving habits or routes.)
