I was doing a compare between the current models and with the Max and I either have to go with 64 GBs of RAM (less than my Intel iMac which is at 72) or  128 GB.  If I go with the latter, the price difference (with the Ultra at 92) was only $300 so the added boost of the chip seemed worth it.  But yeah, just trying to plan for a budget at the moment.

The Toyota/Lexus ones always start in all electric mode; and will not move to hybrid mode until you hit over 85 MPH (and a few other rare circumstances) or until you hit the button to do so - floor it all you want, it stays electric only.  I think this may be due to the fact that they seem to be using more powerful electric motors than Volvo (the latter uses more powerful gas engines).
