I have noticed a common theme and wondered if others are seeing this, but also a contradictory finding in the same respect, that I cannot place.
Basically when the S5 is in normal mode I see an 88% or 87% power threshold, then at other times I see upper 90s or 100% being given. What gives?
Put it in sports mode and I see 100% on demand all the time expected.
Is this 88/87 behaviour common among other owners, could it be temperature related, demand related (like with HVAC runner full power)?
It does not seem to be related to battery % at least not in the upper 50% and up ranges (not really ever going below 50% id just not know if it is doing it there either but it could be).
Just curious, I mean I expect that the car will withhold in normal compared to sport, but why would it sometimes give 88% and others 100%
