New braking system blends regenerative and hydraulic braking for the 2026 Tesla Model Y.

Previously, regenerative braking activates the moment the driver lifts off the accelerator.

When you press the brake pedal, the car decides whether to keep using regenerative or engage the physical brakes.

This is the first time a Tesla has done this.
