Went into "power" mode (a generous description to be sure) getting on the interstate on an up hill ramp. Even on a relatively short up hill ramp, I still did not have any issue reaching 75 before merging in with traffic.

Nice and warm this morning, and never had to gun it, so the gas motor never came on.
We get this cute little read out summary of each trip when we turn off the car. Here is what it looked like. I realize 999 miles per gallon is just the max readout number available. I also realize that doesn't take into consideration what they refer to as Emiles per gallon, which is a direct correlation of amount of electricity used. I will figure those out after I get my handy dandy electricity monitor so I can see exactly how much electricity I am using to recharge the HV battery. Just thought it was funny; and we could all use a little laughter right now.

Lynn,

Does it have air and what happens when and if you turn on? Sluggish and does the engine turn on for it to run?
