I notice it but do not find it annoying.<br><br>My guess is a programming code to keep us from breaking the mini parts whith too much off the line. (Thats why they keep the little box locked) <br><br>If they can reprogram that would be awesome and much more fun!<br><br>pederPederhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04485407536555106838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067499087260210670.post-81977266866436508322009-06-12T13:20:46.458-07:002009-06-12T13:20:46.458-07:00First, you don't get the full power of the eng...First, you don't get the full power of the engine, because power=torque*revs<br>What you actually have is almost the full torque of the engine.<br>Electric motors having the full power, or even the full torque, from 0 rpm is just a misconception.<br>Therefore, it's pretty obvious the car isn't moving as quickly as when you are revving it when you start from standing, because with 0 rpm, the power is null.<br>Also, it's very likely that the software is limiting even more the ability of the E to start quickly so to avoid small accidents while maneuvering.Damiano Garrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01009271865061734909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067499087260210670.post-38307809764547085962009-06-12T19:49:58.314-07:002009-06-12T19:49:58.314-07:00I heard someplace that the acceleration had to be ...I heard someplace that the acceleration had to be toned down to work with the existing drivetrain which was not redesigned for the MINI E. I've only had a relatively short drive home so far but I haven't had any problems getting used to it. <br><br>-Stu <<277>><br>http://www.stuartistry.com/my-mini-eStuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03738307703336989354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067499087260210670.post-46659099700387454822009-06-19T10:01:28.227-07:002009-06-19T10:01:28.227-07:00I definitely would like to see accelerate a bit mo...I definitely would like to see accelerate a bit more instantaneously from 0. So far this is the biggest issue for me. After that it's the Mini Rocket according to my son :-)<br><br>Dominique (308)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
