under power or otherwise, you should always have access to your brakes -- so strange that this problem is even present.

[edit]okay -- from the video, you still have mechanical brakes.. you just have to push further -- which is, personally anyways, what I do when I panic brake - and before I start pumping the brake.[/edit]

The software flash only affects the transition between regenerative and mechanical braking.
