I'm not sure what you are talking about with that 3rd gear thing, and what is a soc?

Here are some notes on the video by timestamp. Please include timedata with any questions or advice.

EDIT: NOTE: all posted limits good until the next posted limit.

0.00 In the garage. My garage has a lift to store 2 cars in a one car garage. As a result a non-standard roll up door similar to what you would find in a storage uint is required. For 4 years it was a manual system that required getting out to shut the door. That door was replaced by a very nice insulated motorized automatic door recently.

1.07 entering subdivision road LIMIT 20 miles per hour

2.03 driving in the subdivision in 4th gear, speeding. 3rd gear tends to be much more agressive with pack assist and the mpgs are worse in 3rd gear so 4th is a better choice.

3.24 4 lane highway LIMIT 60 miles per hour

4.45 same road LIMIT 55 miles per hour

7.00 On flat ground at the base of a hill very little pedel pressure mpgs near 60 (instant) and assist kicks in anyway. This is surprising and unwanted so I back off the gas for a second then push the gas pedel in even farther and ...

7.15 Instant mpgs under 40 and for some reason assist is not kicking in. Which is what I was wanting. Assist seems to have a mind of its own.

9.45 3rd gear restart for regen after a long pine wood derby style coast.

9.55 2 lane backroad LIMIT 40 miles per hour This road runs along the edge of town kinda in town kinda not.

10.34 Got caught by a light I expected to make. Used 3rd gear regen to slow down well before the intersection so a complete stop was not required.

18.03 3rd gear restard with regen to slow down for stop sign.

18.21 stopped. A right turn followed by a short downhill followed by a light that is always red. I only started the car long enough to get it moving on the downhill and cut it back off right away, coasting to the light.

18.46 stopped. engine is off. This light usually takes longer during the day with traffic. Because of the stop we do not get a running start at the following hill so it must be climbed in 4th gear.

18.55 3 lane road LIMIT 45 miles per hour this road is highway running thru town. It normally has quite a bit of traffic.

20.55 3 lane widens to 4 lanes

21.45 same road 4 lanes LIMIT 50 miles per hour

22.06 Cut ICE off at the top of the big hill. This is one spot you are going way slower than normal traffic.

22.50 5th push start to kick in regen. The Vette does not have regen so you end up going 70 at the bottom of the hill in the Vette if you coast (Not Good). The HCH is much nicer because you are keeping your speed within the limit (I mispoke slightly on the tape).

23.53 4th gear push start to regen. Going downhill but need to slow down for a light and a fairly sharp right turn.

24.25 2 lane LIMIT 35 miles per hour

25.35 2 lane LIMIT 40 miles per hour

27.05 This segment of forced auto stop was really not long enough to make it worth it. I should have just left the car in gear or cut it off sooner.

27.27 2 lane LIMIT 35 at first. State does not maintain the first quarter mile

28.00 state maintenance starts LIMIT 45 miles per hour

28.45 In the lot at work. Engine is off but power steering still works, looking for a spot and bleeding the last bits of speed off.
