Unless the Model 3 is very different from the other Tesla cars, there is no such tradeoff. In a Model S, regenerative braking is triggered by releasing the accelerator pedal. Mechanical braking is triggered by stepping on the brake pedal.

I assume that Tesla just screwed up the antilock breaks. If you push the brake pedal all the way down on a dry road, you’re supposed to get full braking power by a mechanical linkage. No software needed.
