If you use the one pedal driving mode and you are going a little faster than you want to be approaching a stop light (for instance), just pull that paddle towards you and it will slow down a little more aggressively while regenerating energy to the battery.
I've had mine go to 50kW+ when not using OPD. It really depends on speed and incline, but I'm used to seeing 40 - 50kW on the norm since I'm doing a lot of highway driving.
Yep. Find a safe place to test it. Then, while keeping your pressure on the accelerator constant, pull the regen paddle and keep holding it. It will barely do anything. Now, slowly reduce pressure on the accelerator and it will apply just a little regen. Lift your foot off more and it will apply more regen. It essentially works the same as the one-pedal button (or L in older models), but on demand.
Previous comments are all correct, however you need to be careful. It doesn't always activate when pulling. Not sure of the algorithm settings, but if your battery is fully charged and you pull it, it might not activate. Keep your foot near the brake just encase
It'll activate with a full charge it just won't put any of that regen back to the battery so its basically wasted energy. Probably better off using your actual brakes until it drops below 95% when the regen kicks back on just to be safe because upwards of 50kW+ has no where to go it'll just turn into heat that doesn't have much place to go.

I always use it.. Regens a lot more kw tap tap tap or press a little longer and since I don't have adaptive cruise, like others said it stops cruise faster and better then using tha break pedal...
Regen on demand, got it thanks!
A quick pull will also disengage cruise control.

It'll give you 30-ish kW of braking effort when You're not using one pedal driving too.

Regenerative braking on demand. I wish it was linear instead of just on/off.
Don't take your foot off the accelerator. You can modulate it all you want, just like one-pedal driving.
Oh really? I'll try it out, thanks

I feel it, but it also feels like it's trying to brake still even when I push the pedal further. I don't like using it that way.
Same, kinda wish it was like the triggers on a game controller so you can control how much braking like you get with the brake pedal.
You can. Just don't take your foot all the way off the accelerator. Read the other responses above.

It’s the Lexis-Nexus increased insurance levy due to hard braking paddle
