Slight vibrations and ka-chunk

[Deadpool]

I'm feeling a slight vibration through the gas pedal. Only present when applying throttle, goes away when coasting.
Also, from a dead-stop, I get what can only be described as a very soft ka-chunk, feels like something engaging.
Normal? Abby Normal? Haven't found anything on the forum or elsewhere describing either item.
Neither is pronounced but noticeable. I've only driven the one I bought so nothing to compare to and haven't been by the dealer to discuss.

You may be feeling the electric motor engaging and dis-engaging. You could possibly be feeling the gas engine starting up. The transmission does smooth out as you put some miles one.

I paid a bit more attention to it tonight and could I be feeling the turbo? Seems to correlate.

That is a possibility. I’ve noticed the turbo doesn’t apply boost all the time.

Mine does exactly the same. I attribute it to the gas engine kicking in when the electric motor is active during idling at stops.
