I think my L50 Ultra is drunk

I think my L50 Ultra is drunk

We're selling our house, and have decluttered and removed a bunch of furniture. But the one room which has remained completely unchanged is the kitchen.

It used to go into a room, do the perimeter, then in a grid-like fashion complete that room. The attached picture shows its path through the kitchen now, which it considered clean and then moved on. There's crap everywhere in the spaces it didn't cover.

It's just behaving erratically - speeding towards edges and bumping into them. Backing itself against a wall and then rotating left or right while pushed against it. Not the regular: forward, rotate 180 and move to one side, back, rotate, back etc. Really strange.

We're moving to the new place soon so it'll only have a couple more cleans before it has to learn a whole new house. Hopefully it sorts itself out there.

In the meantime: any suggestions?

Question for Q8 e-hybrid owners

There's plenty of YouTube reviews which focus on it's performance, luxury, ride, and what the combined power of electric and petrol motors give you in terms of fast acceleration or frugality if driving sedately. They display the ability to choose the mode for how much electric assist the car is using, and they mention the electric-only range - both the older less-range smaller battery and newer longer-range bigger battery. But ... they never seem to demonstrate what it's like driving in electric-only mode.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's a much smaller electric motor than dedicated electric cars have. Something like 130KW? Does this mean it essentially drives like a Q8 with a little 4-pot engine? I don't care if it's not as gut-wrenchingly fast accelerating like full-electric cars. But I want to be able to pull out into traffic reasonably confidently as well.

I'd love to hear from owners what it's actually like to drive in electric only mode. I'm considering one because I like the idea of day-to-day driving using the electric motor since I'll rarely do more than 20km in a day. But I want to be able to drive 700+ kilometers and not have to stop for over an hour waiting for one of the very few chargers available on my country's highways.
