My thoughts so far,
- Braking distance is a bit disappointing for such a [relatively] light car, though.
- After 145mph it's "wind power"?
- Their 0-60mph time is impressive though at 3.8s.
- I wonder why the 5-60 is so much slower, has to be software related.
Really looking forward to what Chris Harris has to say.

According the Road & Track, turbo lag is to blame

The 5-60 mph rolling-start time was less impressive than I expected from a partial EV, adding 1.1 seconds to the run. For that, you can blame the three-cylinder engine's significant turbo lag.
