When they hydro lock it will burn out the starter.

No this doesn't apply to Hybrids, its ICE engines with the troubles

There has been one hybrid owner report this problem a few days ago.

I start it when sitting still. Brake to the floor and accelerator to the floor.

Yeah, don't do that...

Why accelerator to the floor??? Why do you think that helps? I am quite sure that isn't good, revving the engine cold and before oil pressure is up.

You cant rev the engine on a hybrid with the accelerator peddle. The accelerator peddle only controls the hybrid transaxle output. You can however force start the ICE by pulling a large amount of power in the transaxle by pushing the peddle down too far. With the amount of torque, the two electric motors put out I can not see the long-term outcome as good on brakes, engine mounts, struts, and subframe components. These actions could also damage the internal stators around the electric motors.

I was ignorant of this.

Gees man, you are NOT ignorant. I have learned a lot of really cool things from you being here I didn't know.
