The reason why the car slows dow in because you had it re gen braking 3. If you would have it lower you can coast but you wont get power back from slowing down. If you would have it in i-padle you stop as if you would brake lightly all the way till the car stops. But Nice job on the lowering springs.
Do you recommend an alignment after this? Also hitting the right paddle will reduce the one pedal driving to the point where it's identical to a gas one.
In general, anytime you swap to lowering springs, it can affect alignment angles. Depending on the vehicle, it may or may not be noticeable at all driving it after but most of the time it will still change your alignment even if just slightly. I wouldn't say it's an immediate issue, but it is always good to get a good alignment after changing to lowering springs, if anything just to make sure you don't end up with uneven tire wear or pulling issues.
Always recommended, since lowering the car will typically cause more negative camber which can affect toe as well. But they would need to go to an alignment shop for that service. :)
Likely unaffected much, but if it did change at all then I imagine the vehicle being lower to the ground only helps with aerodynamics and increases mileage.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info. Electric cars are a little new to us. Still learning the features!
you can turn down or off the regenerative braking to Level 0 on those paddles. It cruises like on butter.
Ah, I see. I didn't want to mess with the customers car and push buttons like Mortal Kombat haha. Good to know though.
Interesting! What kind of springs did you use?, Name or brand and where I can find them?
H&R Springs! Hit up brian_from_tmg on Instagram and get some ordered!
Is there a before picture ?
Google images probably got one, haha.

Hello, what brand and model of spring? Thanks
They were H&R Springs.
so no alignment needed after ?

What's the range like now did it change it at all
Likely unaffected much, but if it did change at all then I imagine the vehicle being lower to the ground only helps with aerodynamics and increases mileage.
needs some nice 20 or 21" wheels though! Rotiforms maybe!? those OEM 19s are hideous!
63 miles of range at 29% battery level? Someone is racing this EV?
Why would you lower this car? I have a 2023 Limited and it is perfect as is. Just get the N version which is coming out now.
Bc it looks great w/ some wheels, front lip, and side skirts. Mine will be done in April
