I mean I literally have a Tesla and it’s pretty insignificant. Not nothing, but also not much more than reclaiming some free losses.

How often do you drive long stretches down the hill? In this video guy driving downhill seems to be getting around 250 Wh/km, which seems rather significant.
I'm sure you can fare even better if you purpose-build a machine for just going downhill and charging and then going uphill: you basically have an electric plant on wheels.
