  • Hard disagree on this one. The regenerative braking has a learning curve yes, but the pros outweigh the cons imo. When you brake (in a traditional car or an EV), you are wearing out yor brake pads, turning friction into heat. Done right, renerative braking means almost all energy is captured back, and even lower maintenance by not bothering the brake pad.

    It takes getting used to, you hate it at first, which is why tesla has an option to disable it, but there is a reason why most people who own Teslas use it, and other EVs are getting it as well.






  • Playing devils advocate here but… I suspect what is happening here is a previous purchaser bought it (broke it?), returned it under a different reason (eg. I dint like it) and Amazon decided it is not worth the hassle of rechecking every return labeled as such.

    Mind you this is no consolation for someone like you who has go to through this return process, but I cant believe Amazon is “winning” by keeping a defective product like this in rotation long enough for someone to “eat the cost”. Defective products hurt Amazon as well and I’m sure they’d rather take the hit if they could pin point which products are defective.

    You could argue that they should bear the cost of validating every return, but clearly someone has crunched the numbers and the program is likely not cost effective.
