Default Re: Factory restriction on the Hybrid system???

I don't know....it just seemed to me that it was too creepy of a coincidence for my performance to change like that in one day. I've been driving it every day and watching my performance very closely and this was a sudden change. For it to happen almost exactly at 1000 miles seems really odd. Almost like they limited the system's usage until it had a chance to "break in" the motors, generators, etc. I'd like to hear from the engineers on this one...
