I try not to let the fuel get too low now as I had the situation last year where I ran low on fuel, tried to make it to the pump on pure and the engine kept cutting in. Very nerve wracking.

After the quick manoeuvre off the drive, mine always runs with the ICE for few hundred yards, almost without exception, summer or winter. I can even tell by the buildings along the road when the electric engine will take back over.
Must be a design feature for whatever reason. |

So no design feature Im aware of to start the ICE when starting off. If it does start the first run of the day is always longer as it runs until the engine reaches a certain temperature

As Above, I can drive for miles in my car before the ICE cuts in for the first time.

Strange then, as mine still does - even after a service and software upgrade a couple of weeks ago.
I certainly not giving it the beans either, as it's a long residential street. Something must be 'sub-optimal' to quote the latest politician-speak. |

I have had this occur as well but worked out what was causing the issue. when you reverse and then go to drive, the power bar drops on the display. if you press the accelerator to quickly in essence you exceed the battery power and causes the ICE to kick in. I wait just a second and you will see the power bar rise back to normal level and away you go in battery mode.

You think filling up twice the same day is bad?
I drove from Buffalo, NY to Chicago, IL last year in a horrible snow storm. At 0F, in AWD mode, I was getting about 12-13 mpg on my T8. And on stretches in Ohio and Indiana there are very few gas pumps. So I had a usable range of 150 miles or so, with the small tank. But, with 50+ miles between gas stations, I effectively had to get gas, or worry about getting gas, every hour. I ended up getting gas six or seven times that day. Ever get gas at -25C with the wind blowing in the plains of the midwest, with slow pumps that cannot latch (so you actually have to stay there and HOLD the damn thing... thanks to US safety regulation....)? It's fun stuff. That's when I decided to sell the damn car. |
