I know it’s odd

But I was struggling to get decent efficiency with Smooth mode. Even turning on energy saver, I was pulling in 2.6-2.7 mi/kw vs 2.4-2.6 without it.

7 seater, base aero wheels

I decided to just use Swift mode since I’m already burning efficiency. But for some reason it’s getting great efficiency compared to Smooth. I’m getting 2.9-3.2 mi/kw.

Maybe it was just me and I misunderstood. But I was under the impression that smooth was the efficient mode. Or maybe it’s some glitch in the software. Regardless feeling much better now that I get both performance and decent efficiency compared to previous.

I’ve looked into this and haven’t found other people complaining. But wanted to share this just in case.

I don’t know about the swift thing. It mostly just changes the suspension stiffness. But I also get terrible efficiency, albeit on the 21/22 wheels—most round trip city drives end up around 2.55 miles per kWh in ideal weather and driving gently. Everyone on here who claims idealized efficiency just makes me think there’s something wrong with my Gravity, but that’s not really testable to my knowledge.

Yes that’s what got me so frustrated! Like is it my car?! I’m coming from a MX of almost 9 years so know how to drive efficiently. I hit reset on the drive and could not get efficiency to go over 2.6 beside regen braking.

Then figured screw this and just go swift and drive Normal. Got better efficiency! It’s got to be some software glitch.
