Re: Brabus #1 "slow" acceleration

Not sure if this is the case here, but battery discharge rate (how quickly it can dump power into the motors) is affected by state of charge and temperature. Many performance cars like to preheat before launching and show limited power when not near full charge. Try again after preheating the batter...

They originally estimated 8 weeks lead time (including ~3 weeks of paperwork their end) and the Smart website is saying 2-3 weeks for my configuration, but...
