That's why I stated that my usual passengers, who
have been very vocal in previous cars that I was jerking them around or that it was uncomfortable, bumpy etc. have made no such complaint in this car. I've even asked them directly, while on a road trip to make sure they were comfortable. They were surprised afterward to find out I'd barely touched the brake pedal at all. It's just modulating the pedal appropriately. If it gets treated like an on/off switch then it'll be jerky, if you can be fluid with it it's fine.

Unless I am planning on driving a specific distance which might tax my current SoC; (which basically happens almost never), I just don’t give a damn whether I’m getting 2.4 mile/kWhr or 3.5 mile/kWhr.
It’s just so much more fun being able to drive an iX using more of its abilities. It’s not a Bolt or Leaf FFS! lol

This is me when I'm alone lol. Probably fairly jerky driver then! But yeah, the instant torque is too much fun. Even using like 30% power just from the instant response leaves most other cars in the dust. Still get like 2.8 most of the time which is fine for me.
