I may be misreading the reports on acceleration but it seems that they are just using the electric portion of the drive and happy with it. The comments all seem to be how silent it is. If that's the case they are getting along nicely using half the available torque and horsepower. If you don't hear the engine you are running on electric only. If that's the case, how far do you have to put your foot into the gas peddle to truly have it function as a hybrid. It's clear that by programming the truck will use electric only, unless pushed, till the battery is depleted. How far do you have to push it to get all the zoom???Thanks for posting. So maybe the torque curve is fairly constant which makes it feels less fast even though it is fast. The term “jerk” is the acceleration of the acceleration in physics. If no rate of change in acceleration then it is harder to perceive the experience. It would be really interesting to see torque curve and dyno info on the 4xe to understand the power delivery. Maybe it is the odd sense of missing the noise that adds to the experience as well. The 2.0 has a lot of peak torque early and a high rate of change in torque which makes it fell faster probably. Great write up. Thanks again.
