I apologize since this has been probably said many times, but I continually find it frustrating that almost always, the days I drive over an hour into work (or home) it decides to wait until the last 5 miles of my trip to kick off a regen cycle. You're talking a good 10-15 minutes before it's done so I'm either riding around another 15 minutes or cycling the ignition and waiting for the numbers to drop. I love everything else about my car, but they really fell short here with whoever programmed this function.
My solution would be to show a light on the dash when a regen is needed, after which you can push a button when you know you're going to be driving sufficiently long for the cycle to finish. It could be user switchable mode for those who want control over this.
