...for some reason, my acceleration zip has zapped.
One of my favorite things about my lightning is it's ability to smoke nearly to everything off the line. Of course I don't abuse the privilege, and I'm usually alone on a straight-away, when my daughter says, "Daddy, take-off," and I do. It usually sinks me into my seat... And tries for orbit!
Today, after the Bluecruise 1.4 update, we all went driving to see how well it functioned, and it was solid... Lane changes were amazing, the BC was far more solid and confident in the turns, and we really had a blast. Awesome update!
However on the deserted straight-away coming up to the house, my daughter asked her usual, and I punched it... Whoa....
My foot sunk to the floor, but the truck acted exactly like an ICE truck, slow acceleration through the first few seconds, and then a very gradual increase up to speed. No chirp, nuthin.
I was dumfounded. I tried again with the Sport mode off, same. Turned off the truck and back on, same. Turned off BC, same.
I have a BMW i3 and there is a built-in governor to prevent the axle from damaging the relatively (to the lightning) fragile frame. It felt exactly like that....
SO... Is this a thing? Has anyone else had that experience after the update?
