Angry 2018 New Car Shakes Under Acceleration

Dears,
After these issues with my brand new car

now new issue has come out, i was accelerating 3/4 of throttle at 100MPH (160 KM/H ) i increase the throttle to full throttle and the car start shaking and the RPM shakes without the car moving or accelerating , seems like the gear cannot change so the gear and the engine was shaking the the RPM WAS DANCING,

what could be the problem, please note that the car has only 10K miles (16K km ) ?

Not normal though I have not been over 100 in my car. Take it to a dealer and complain about a "judder". They know and understand this term to mean checking the CVT for problems. Report back what you hear from them.

I hit 100 mph with my 2018 Max SV for short periods of time with zero issues so what you're experiencing is not normal, so if I were you I would definitely take it to the dealer. Although I have to say if they deem necessary to try and reproduce the problem I don't see any of them willing to go 100 mph anywhere to get to the bottom of it. But maybe they can put your car through a battery of diagnostics and try to see if there is anything wrong with the transmission or anything else.

Regardless: since your car has only 10k miles on it now is the time to do it, well within your warranty.

Where can you drive 100 lawfully?

Your car does not have gears. By dancing do you mean the RPM was rapidly rising and dropping?

Speed limits run from 120-140 kph in Saudia Arabia. 140 is close to 120mph. Crazy driving over there! Ever watched SA drifting?
I wonder if engine is approaching speed limiter set point at that speed?

I’ve traveled at 100 mph for a good mileage. I think it was in Nevada where speed limit is 85 mph with no problems. The car handles fine. It was empty no cars and it was at night. I went maybe for 120 miles flat non stop at 100 mph.

I did push to 132 mph can’t say where but it was scary.

I took it to 110 once just to try it out. No problems, but there's a lot of road and wind noise past 90 or so.

I don't typically like to go that fast either, but did go a little over a 100 a few times when it was safe to do so. Smooth as buttah, I almost didn't believe it was that fast.

If you take a coyote to the grill at 100 mph, you can consider the car totaled....

And if you loose control after taking that coyote at 100 mph you can consider yourself totaled.

That is about 150 feet per second. You are out driving the range of your headlights at that speed. It would 100 feet just to get your foot to the brake.
