    @ATLAS NEON , It Is The AC compressor, your car will slow you down if the ac compressor is not fully working
    1-the ac compressor shouldnt be turning on and turning off all the time, even if youre getting cool air.
    2- you ac pulley bearings gets wet in that compressor pulley, it will slow down the belt and this on its own Results in misfires without any Engine Codes
    3-a faulty ac compressor will only build resistance, slowing down your belt, therefore, resulting in slow acceleartion
    on any hybrid or electric cars, if the ac system is not functioning properly, the ecu will not give you a full recharge to your battery, therefore, you will see very slow charge, or you will see 3 bars or less, when on a full working car you will always get constant 6 bars or higher. And of course unless you drive like a turtle you see 4 bars or less
    i own a hybrid and iam still learning along the way. My lats advice, i strongly reccomend replacing all your fuses for your hybrid motor assist, for me it were only 3 fuses, make sure they are straight from the original manufacture and not aftermarket, your hybrid will start to charge ALOT faster, even if your previous fuses were still okay and working. Remember, there is way too much electricity flowing through all your parts. I wish i knew this the first day, it couldve saved me alot of money in gas and headaches!

      It uses electruc compressor that gets power straight from the battery...there's no pulling and belts on those engines

    My engine makes a high pitched sound at the end of 1st gear on redline shifts but not loss of traction or power, it’s done this for five years of my ownership and hasn’t changed. The only time I lose traction is on wet or loose roads. To add the Q50 hybrid is the most underrated car of all time.

    • @AtlasWilder
      @AtlasWilder  Před 3 lety +1

      I’ve heard the high pitch whine as well, I’m looking into issues regarding the switches under brake pedal also. Cuz sometimes from a dead stop it thuds and cuts power and soon as I step off the brake to full acceleration.

    I noticed the same thing on my Q50s hybrid AWD today..damn. I started in 1st gear manual mode, then switched to "D" once rev passed 4000 rpm, the car would cut power after 6000 rpm but will not shift until red line, and only seems to happen in 1st gear. Not every time though, very weird...

    I was all set on the Q50 hybrid. Actually drove 3 but hard to find with low miles and clean. Just so happen to walk past a Q50 redsport at the dealership and it was sick. I wasn’t interested until I drove the redsport. Not sure I’ll wait for a low mileage Hybrid or just purchase a new red sport.

  • @cameronsarabia5269
    @cameronsarabia5269 Před 3 lety +5

    I’m assuming here but since it’s a hybrid when you rev the engine at stop for a launch the electrical system is prolly trying to stop itself from being overcharged since revving the engine will charge the battery and so it’s cutting off the ability to use the electric motor? Also hybrids were meant for efficiency and so if the gas engine is running by your foot being on the petal it wouldn’t make sense to the computer to run the battery as well. I am not an expert by any means just my thoughts on it.

More than likely they tried to make it 400bhp plus but didnt because of the issues YOU are having so they held it back.
