As a side note, when I bring my truck in next week for them to do the approach lighting STAR and replace my TMU and investigate the quiet crunchy noise in the front end going slowly over bumps, they’re also going to lubricate/or something my mirrors because they squeak on the fold/unfold 😕.
I’m sure it will, but, maybe calling Stelantis, you can get something out of them for the long duration. Money back, or maybe a free year of connected services or something.

It’s not a rough start; in fact, it’s rather smooth. It’s simple the matter that it prevents immediate acceleration.
I agree with @RedFred...
I didn’t realize we were talking about A. Hemis and B. eTorques. Yes the eTorque uses the motor/generator to start the engine. I’m not sure which battery it uses but I believe it does use the main battery for starting, the etorque battery only for the torque addition. Lead acid/agm batteries are...
