I'm sure I don't need to ask if there's a good reason why you don't back
into your driveway.
Makes more sense to do this when the car is warm and willing to shut off its engine so you can EV mode yourself into your parking space going backwards. Also makes human-assisted launches possibly more efficient going forward (because you don't need to then stop & change direction) ... or, hey - you could reverse your rear tires up a pair of ramps for "launch assist" when it's time to leave!

I wonder if a coolant temperature hack would do the trick. It would be amusing to repurpose the presently-useless "EV Mode" button for the task.

Tim (Daox) has been working on a coolant sensor hack. I don't know the details, but maybe he'll chime in.
