I've noticed that my round Power Usage Graph displayed on the dash will frequently show a yellow-dotted line in the negative region when the car is freshly charged. At first I thought this was because the batteries were so topped off that any regen would essentially have nowhere to go and might be 'less effective?' for a while.
However, this also happens when the car is only at 80% SOC - so plenty of room for some regen energy.
Further, there are times when a yellow "!" triangle also shows on the graph in the same area.
After a few miles, this goes away and everything is fine. The car doesn't seem to respond differently when this happens, it just bugs me. Whats going on?
Unrelated, I noticed that when I use the fob to unlock the charger so I can unplug, that sometimes the charge door closes on its own and sometimes it does not. If I ignore it and get into the car, it closes anyway. But why does it sometimes wait til I get in and sometimes close almost immediately?
Such a curious machine this thing is...
