I’m driving a 2020 X Long range and the amount of regenerative braking these motors give is really strong. It’s amazing how much I don’t use the pad brakes even if I’m driving spiritedly and needing to slow down right after. I can see the only times I really need pad brakes are if a car cuts me off/pedestrian runs out unexpectedly or if I’m needing to stop at a light down a very steep hill. I do notice that when I come to a stop using just the right pedal, the parking brake shows up in the speedo using pad brakes to keep the vehicle from rolling if on an grade but I never feel it sticking as I throttle....it just launches and takes off like a silent scared kitty. lol
