Regenerative braking does not work well in all scenarios, like heavy braking in an emergency ~~or coming to a complete stop from a slow roll~~.
Or five full track days in a heavy EV, I can say from experience that that will wear out brake pads pretty damn quick (Taycan 4S wagon)
Also, torque vectoring will use friction brakes
You are right for hard or emergency braking, but Hyundai's regenerative braking at max is intended to be one pedal driving, and it easily stops you completely in a fairly short distance. I guess that isn't the way others are doing it. I can get away with only using the brakes at the first stop sign near my house when I leave with a full charge, as the regenerative brakes don't work when it can't charge the battery. But I am sure I will still have to change the brake pads eventually anyway, which I would normally do myself during a seasonal tire changeover, so this news sucks.
Oh yeah, you're right. We had a BMW i3 for a long time and it also had good one pedal driving. I managed to forget about that since the Taycan doesn't have one pedal driving basically at all
