I'm pretty sure rather than combining the petrol and electric power and sending it to all 4 wheels the petrol engine powers the front and then the electric powers the back. Factor in some delays in response that even polestar mods can't get rid of you're always best either making sure you're pointing in a straight line when you do it or just feather it a little bit.

Mine has a mere 620Nm of combined torque compared with the latest models, but it still gets a bit squirmy sometimes if flooring it when overtaking on poor tarmac.
