The breaks are the biggest issue. It's as though they produce a frozen feeling under certain conditions. But when they act that way, It is breaking pretty hard, so it does the job. Your can feel the shift between the two different electric motors (but most people won't be able to). The shift between electric mode and hybrid mode is insanely smooth (wish I could say the same about the relationship between the two electric motors). You can easily get 65 km with hypermiling, but you need to use the weight of the car for your planning way more than other hybrids/electrics. My record with I think 73 or 76 on 401 in Toronto doing between 90-110. I was told the old fuel will burn at 3 months, I have reached 3 months since I got the car and it hasn't started. The fact that you have both a normal and adaptive cruise is weird and will be confusing for most, just make it adaptive. If you have the higher package I probably recommend using the seat coolers and heaters to reach your comfort. Especially warm A/C is a giant range killer, it uses about 5 times the power that it takes to cool the car. I have yet to see the combined effect of the A/C warmer for such a large cabin room in actual negative temperature, but I can guess at least a 20-30% range reduction. The hybrid model gets way better chairs for the middle row since they don't have to go down into floor anymore. The hybrid leather package's middle chair doesn't tilt forward to create easy entry to the 3rd row, so your really only have the option of going through the middle, which is a big hassle if you have two rear seating car seats (which will be my situation in 2 months). The millage system is very stupid in its estimation. So it estimates that when you drive your car efficiently, you are at an equivalent millage of 2 L/100km. That is a fair estimate since everyone wont wait till night time to charge their car like I do. HOWEVER, it stays at two even if you are cursing and breaking and charging. It even stays at two when you are on hybrid mode (having used all your battery) and are using power your generated by using the gas engine and breaking. So the Estimate is off at least by 1 L/100km, for someone like me that goes 95% electric, and maybe 1.5 L/100 km for someone who uses it mostly as a hybrid. The car costs half as much as my Prius to drive, yet it says millage is 3.7 km/100 km. Despite all these stupid complaints, I still give the car 9.5 out of 10. It does so much right. The engine turns on at 130 km. The ride is insanely smooth. The acceleration (zero to 60) is very good considering the huge ass car it's moving. You can really go without needing the extra 50% power for almost 100% of the time. The kids don't complain anymore, I think because they don't as cramped as in a SUV. I haven't even turned on the entertainment system for them yet. Best thing for a family, the 2nd and 3rd row doesn't feel cramped like model X. On hybrid mode you can do some insane hypermiling (way more room to work with than Prius or Highlander hybrids) since it is very efficient at using the battery it charges compared to a normal hybrid. Anyways, I wrote too much, but I hope it helps.
Still here, but have been tied up with all kinds of other things. Also having a hard time getting any other vehicles. Will be posting a basic Vlog today
