Today I was cruising the beach between Indian Rocks and Bellaire Beach in PInellas County, Florida. When I left Gulf Blvd. towards the mainland I crossed the Bellaire Bridge, a high-span bridge that allows sailboats to go under, so you know it's pretty high. As I crested the bridge, I was doing 30-mph. I took my foot off of the accelerator, and not using the brakes, the car held speed it at 30-mph all by itself without the help of cruise control. Any other car would have sped up to 40-45 mph without braking by the time it reached the bottom of the span. I found that to be pretty cool. The photo does not give justice as to the height of the span.

The Mach-E applies some additional regen (if 1PD is off) when it detects you are on a slope to keep you from going faster and faster when you start going downhill - it sort of holds your speed steady. It's nice, luxury vehicles often have this feature built in.
