Learned today that the cruise control defeats the 56 mph limitation in ECO PRO+ mode.
Range increases 1 or 2 additional miles vs ECO PRO.

>56 mph in ECO PRO+ ? YES!

It was several months after purchasing our i3 that I discovered that driving in Eco Pro+ imposed a 56 mph speed limit because I almost always drive with ACC on and set to 5 mph over the speed limit.

The 56mph speed limit in Eco Pro+ is a "soft limit". You can defeat it by continuing to press the accelerator hard for a couple seconds. It's really meant more to coach you to drive slower, which will increase your range, more so than to impose a strict limit. There can be situations when you need to go faster for safety reasons so it isn't a hard speed limiter, which could be unsafe.

Funny. :lol:
Also good to know the limit is not restricted. Safety concern makes sense.
