Degraded regenerative braking?
How often do you all have degraded braking? It seems like mine is frequently degradedf even around 60% charge.
I'm in the general Seattle area, so it is colder lately and there are lots of hills. Going down a hill seems to saturate the charging until I accelerate again.
Is this temperature related? I don't know how to tell what the current battery temperature is. Does the car use the heat pump at all to regulate the battery temperature?
I have only received the "degraded braking" warning one time though,

If the battery is at a high state of charge (nearing 100%) or it is cold outside you will have degraded regenerative breaking.
From what you said is cold outside so it sounds like this is normal. It's winter where I am too. Everytime I get in the car is degraded because it's cold. Two solutions: one, drive for about 15-20 minutes or two, precondition before you drive.
Yea, preconditioning the battery and driving 15 minutes doesn't fix this. That's why I'm asking here.
