But once you get to 26 miles, that's it. The sport mod won't charge past 26 miles; but it will keep it there.
It seems that even from a full charge my car lets the battery run down to 26 miles and then maintains that level. I thought it was a fault but maybe it's part of the software to boost gas mileage?ffcars said:But once you get to 26 miles, that's it.

They're all left hand drive. If you want to drive one in the UK, Australia, or NZ, you have to sit on the "wrong" sidesiliconkiwi said:It's optional, there is a button by your left knee (On left hand drive cars) to engage the parking brake. Shifting into P doesn't engage it automatically.
Okay, thanks. That makes sense... it uses the power from the ICE & battery for max power in Sport, so naturally the battery will be depleted until the magic 26.kabalah70 said:Matrix,
In answer to your first question, yes, Sport Mode allows the battery to deplete to 26 miles even when it starts at 50. Which is why I don't drive Sport until it hits 26 or below, normally. I think I mentioned this next things elsewhere too, but the Energy Flow screen shows the battery consumption/generation from what I can make out, so that when you floor it you see -180+/-1 kW. In Sport mode when floored, it flucuates a lot more, but bounces around the -130 +/- kW range, which would lead me to believe that the generator is giving about 170kW to offset and make the 300kW max out of the motors.
Uphill in my book is always Sport mode. It drains battery range way too fast otherwise.bigdaddyo811 said:If the incline uphill kills the battery (which it does on mine too) anyone tried or would it work to flip into Sport mode for all uphills and then put back into stealth on downhill or flat driving?
