I'm thinking that with the electric motor produces all of its torque at very low rpms, that I should even be able to light up the tires, if I wanted.

Noticed the same thing, but only when the ICE shuts down. I'm supposing that it's the ICE starting. When the mileage display is at '0', there is no stumble; when it's in the 'e-zone', there is a slight stumble. Kinda reminds me of an old Rambler I had before I managed to tweak the accelerator pump and initial spark advance to make it go away.
