There is a blue light on the meter that shows when you start up, meaning engine not yet warm enough. I usually wait until the light disappears before I drive (unless in a rush).
I have experienced power loss on cold start before. 3 times since collecting my car on CNY new year eve.
Because I live in an apartment, I would have to drive up a parking ramp almost immediately upon moving.
Twice, on separate occasion the car struggled to climb up the ramp. Giving it more gas actually resulted in heavy engine vibration that shook the interior of the cabin.
I literally had to go back down the ramp, wait for about 10 seconds to climb the ramp again.
Eversince then I waited for the engine to warm up. If you notice, upon cold start, your engine rpm starts at 2k rpm, which is really high. These days I would wait for the rpm needle to drop to slightly below 2k before driving the car. However I experienced a 3rd time of power loss but not as severe as the first two incident, but enough to notice some power lag and engine vibration.
Informed SC on my first 1k inspection and they just told me that they couldn't find any faults in the computer. Guess I'll have to drive my car until something breaks.
Also, I'm someone who does not believe in engine warm up, but I'm not ready to wreck my new car either.
