Tesla MODEL Y 2022 - Regenerative Braking; Stopping Mode; Slip Start; Off-Road Assist

Regenerative Braking: When you release the
accelerator when driving, regenerative
braking slows Model Y and feeds any surplus
energy back to the Battery. If set to LOW,
Model Y does not slow down as quickly, but
also feeds less energy back to the Battery
(see Regenerative Braking on page 71).
NOTE: Regardless of the setting selected, the
energy gained by regenerative braking is
reduced if the Battery is full, or is extremely
cold or hot (in which case, surplus energy is
used to heat or cool it).
NOTE: The regenerative braking setting is not
available on all vehicles.
Stopping Mode: Choose how you want Model
Y to behave once regenerative braking has
reduced the driving speed to a very low
speed, Drive or Reverse is still engaged, and
both the accelerator and brake pedals are
released.
See Stopping Mode on page 72. You
can adjust this setting only when Model Y is in
Park.
Slip Start (on Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles):
Turn on to allow wheels to spin (see Traction
Control on page 74).
O-Road Assist (on All-Wheel Drive vehicles):
Enable O-Road Assist to disable traction
control and allow wheels to spin when driving
o-road (see Traction Control on page 74).
