    There is your answer. This is especially noticeable if MG1 is spinning fast in the other direction, and has to do a quick start of the ICE.

    Exactly what i was thinking. i really notice it if i'm at the top of the electric area on the HSI, then floor it, there's a lag of around a second before the power all kicks in at once. if you ease the power on from the same place of the HSI you get a consistent and smooth increase in power.

    Could this be what people are describing?

    Why are the moderators leaving the OP alone while the rest of us get banned or slapped with infractions?

    Bob's hypothesis is invalidated anyway because the OP has confirmed she's not a two-footed driver.
