[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]First week into driving this beautiful P85D I have to understand the relationship of the kilowatts with the speed. I have a suggestion for people. I would like to have a more intelligent cruise control system and this is my proposal (this may not be new). I wish I could set the cruise control to speed and watts. In this I could set the maximum watts to let's say 30, and the speed to 72. The car would slow the speed down to maintain a maximum watt expenditure of 30 with a minimum speed limit. For example the speed would never go below 65 let's say on a climb and the watts in this situation would pass the 30 limit, but in general for cruising the maximum speed would be achieved in relation to watts expenditure. This would maximize efficiency. I want to be able to control the watt expenditure and the speed not just the speed. The cruise control should allow me a high and low range and I should be able to set the watts either to a limit (relative to minimum speed) or choose no limit to cruise speed. What do you all think of this? I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this.[/COLOR]
