I might take it in to have the dealer look at that as well as an annoying low speed brake squeek. Sounds like the pads are rubbing on half the disk, so it squeeks, then stops then starts, then stops, but only at real low speeds.

I can't tell that there is any additional regen from pressing the brake pedal prior to the brake lights showing. Seriously, the pedal only travels a half inch or so prior to the brake lights comming on. With the radio, fan, ICE all off, coasting about 30mph, I can't detect any increase in the "Wrrrrr" regen noise prior to seeing the brake lights reflecting in the rear window.
Surface rust can cause the low speed brake squeak/and or grabbing. Try this: the next time you come up on a red light, put the TCH in neutral around 30/35mph and stop normally. It may take a few stops, but this will prevent any regeneration and force the TCH to use the brakes while stopping. This should wipe off any rust and eliminate or greatly reduce the squeaking.
