Shouldn't the EV motor provide enough oomph? The X5 has a 120hp motor, and unless I'm trying to pass at highway speeds it's actually enough power most of the time and the shifts are mostly imperceptible on the ZF8.

On the highway if you are using the gas engine, the same issues you complain about would be present on a regular gas car, and when I throw it in sport mode and use the engine, it's fine.

I still think it's calibration when it's something that we've been doing for 40 years before hybridization was so common.
