I don't know how we could tell if this is "real" or if it is just gaming the Hx algorithm, but it's more fun than driving like a granny. It also has amazingly little impact on my miles per kWh, which is a big plus for the Leaf. I feel guilty driving my Subaru with any verve since it just wastes gasoline pumping extra air though the engine then heating the brakes. At least the Leaf recaptures a fair amount of the excess kinetic energy.
I'm just worried all that torque is going to shred my almost-done tires. But I needed a good reason to get new ones before the rainy season(s) start anyway. Removing all the remaining tread by challenging the traction control should do it.
