Weird Jerkiness After Hard Acceleration

I had a strange experience with my MG4 earlier today and was wondering if anyone else has encountered something similar.

I was in Sport mode, accelerating hard (up to about 70mph), and then I abruptly lifted off the power. For a second or two, the car felt... off. It’s hard to describe, but it was almost like the power was being shuffled between the wheels or the motors were out of sync. It felt like the whole car was momentarily unbalanced, almost as if the wheels had gone wobbly.

It was unexpected and pretty unsettling, especially since it’s never happened before. It only lasted for a moment, and everything was fine after. What was that?

I did some quick search online and came across "cogging" and "torque ripple," which could maybe explain it. I’m not sure if that’s what happened here, though. Could it be something related to the dual-motor setup, or maybe an issue with how the car handles abrupt changes in power? Hoping it’s just a one-off thing, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.
