Quite - "a “B” drive mode that increases regenerative braking and reduces electric motor output to give the car its greatest range" Is almost certainly a software only change, unless it involves an extra notch on the drive selector or something. A shame to leave out a feature like that on the lower end model, I'm sure even Apple would give you that one for free! _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
