The car’s computer should phase in the mechanical disc brakes as the regen braking force decreases to maintain a consistent deacceleration rate while off throttle or braking.
Tesla explicitly doesn’t mix brakes and regen because the transition between the two is always awful. Instead they use confusers to measure how much regen is needed at any given moment and adjusts the resistance based on that.
Between hot/full battery, computers being stupid, and their owners even dumber that’s probably how this dumbass hit a pole.
I’ve driven a non-Tesla electric car and the regenerative and mechanical braking both worked great and didn’t have a startling transition between them. It just worked like I thought the brake pedal should.

After watching some “testing out the self driving features of my Tesla” videos on YouTube, yeah I’d agree with that being the cause of most Tesla related accidents like this. Tesla owners and their cars seem like a terrible combination safety wise.
