Replaced my 'Mk 1' Trophy (no rear wiper etc) car with a 'Mk 2' that has the rear wiper, one pedal drive etc a few months back but on a longer trip yesterday identified some odd behaviour regarding throttle pedal response.
On slowing down on approach to various roundabouts and seeing I could continue without coming to a stop there is a very definite delay between the increase power request from the throttle pedal to the car responding and accelerating. Tried this in ECO, NORMAL and SPORT modes and it was the same in every mode. It's also not a steering angle sensor limiting power (it's meant to do that) as it does the same thing on a straight section of road.
Don't recall the Mk 1 being this slow to transition from charging deceleration to acceleration and its something I would have noticed having done 20k in it!
It's around 2 seconds before the car starts to accelerate - anyone else who has driven both noticed this behaviour?
Was quite enjoying the 1 pedal drive mode but it seems to pull higher levels of battery power when stopped (8% in one case!) and even with the autohold applied compared to not using it all where the car power % shows 0. Whilst I appreciate it means the motor is ready to accelerate straight away it's not very efficient in stop start traffic compared to manual driving.
