I have a Trophy & have noticed that on the status screen on the cluster in front of the driver that shows the tyre pressures & power train.
Tyre pressures all work fine but have noticed that the power is mainly highlighting blue on the rear 99% & about 1% if that on the front wheels, Whether slow acceleration or quick.
& the regen is only highlighting green on rear drive train.
Anyone else noticed this?
I was under the impression all four wheels would be powered !
Also on the cluster screens on the centre console, the status screen shows front left wheel/drive highlighted in red/brown colour the other three wheels are in blue !
 
Good afternoon, in comfort mode you'll use rear-wheel drive 99% of the time, and in sport mode you'll always use all-wheel drive.

What you see in red may be a lack of tire pressure.

In my "GT" in comfort mode the car is indeed rear wheel drive only. I have however observed the drive graphic with the front wheels illuminating blue briefly. This seems to occur when there is a momentary loss of traction in the rear. Thus "maybe" the response is for the front motor to participated only until rear traction is restored. I never see any power from the front motor under all other conditions. To be fair I don't feel any difference when the front motor highlights briefly in this case. Perhaps the Trophy with a single rear motor under the same circumstances of temporary lost traction in the rear sends the signal to the front to participate. But,,,,,no front motor exists so I guess its a lazy software leftover that wasn't corrected for the rear drive only cars. Certainly not the only software oversight. But,,,,,thats just my guess. 🤷‍♂️ :)
