I’ve read about half of the 50 or so pages of bowfer’s speed problems and I think we’re experiencing the same thing in an SE SR 23 plate. Typically we don’t take the car on fast roads, it’s mainly used for a daily short commutes on local roads.
I’ve noticed behaviour where power drops off at 55 mph while accelerating. You can feel the car back off at that point and then it will carry on accelerating, but at a much slower rate. Today on a 15 mile motorway trip the car refused to go much over 60. At that speed, fully depressing the accelerator had no impact. Setting the target cruise control to 80 had no impact either.
Temperature today is over 10 degrees, charge was around 60% on the way there and down to around 40% on the way back. Same behaviour on the outbound and return journey, with about a 2 hour break.
Based on the info in bowfer’s thread and another more recent one, the car will be going into the dealership as soon as possible.
I’ll feed back on what the dealer says.
