For me, I would like to see more motor and less engine in such circumstances. Does anybody know if that is "tunable"? Official service technician capability? 3rd party or hack?
Initially, I had the same reaction. However, as I have learned the quirks of driving it, I have been able to see how to keep it in electric mode longer. I even drive it on occasion more than a mile in all electric.
