    Can the Braking System be adjusted so we get Maximum Regen Braking BEFORE mechanical Braking starts?

    Sorry, no. It has to be ready for emergency braking, but you do get a lot of regen first

    Hello Bisco. It's been a while since I asked a question.

    I just feel the mechanical Braking is grabbing before it fully regen.

    Also, is the All Answers link a trusted partner? They wanted $5, but then they wanted $45 per month.

    Idk anything about all answers.
    Are your brakes grabbing due to rusty rotors?

    What is the year and model of the car that you are driving?

    How many miles on the car?

    If a green dot is blinking in the corner of his avatar, he's on the site. Otherwise no.

    Regarding changing the proportion of regen versus friction brake: there's no way Toyota would make that owner customizable. It is very complex, and nearly always a mix of the two, varying amounts of each. Definitely not one or the other.
