I purchased my car in late December 2021. Since I took the dealer ship in 70 days of ownership and 1800 miles, and most of the time throttle works good. However, rarely the throttle doesn't response in the situation that I'm going to describe below.
When approaching to an intersection or a red light, I pull my foot from the throttle and slow down, lets say from 30 mph to 10mph. Without Stopping, when I see the intersection is empty/light turns green, I push the throttle to accelarate, and throttle gets unresponsive for 1-2 seconds. When this happened the first time, I thought engine didn't wanna kick in because it was in HV mode and the battery was 20% (top of the blue line). After 1-2 secs, it kicked on and I continued. When this happened as a second time, it was a similar situation but I was approaching a light, and it was in EV mode, and the battery was at around 70% charge, but throttle didn't respond for 1-2 seconds. This issue could be dangerous in some situation.
