Been playing with the paddles on the steering wheel for the braking. I doubt I'll need new pads before 100K...the engine provides a lot of stopping power.
Most of the time, unless stopping, the paddles can replace the brake pedal.
Sport mode is fun.

Is the tank super small or were you just topping it off?
Paddles? So you're using engine braking instead of the brakes? Is using the engine a way to engage regenerative braking? I thought with most cars that have regenerative braking, that it was activated by the brake pedal.
