Hmm thats interesting. But what about when I go from 44 motor off ev to neutral and coast up to 50s? I haven't noticed any harm and thats what im trying to do with the button. (No 70 mph png). Well I guess I always coast back down to 41 before I kick the motor back in so I guess i just answered my own question..
Basically Im trying to put the car in neutral and kill the engine, not keep in the throttle in some weird mode after killing the gas engine.
