Yep software bug - I was curious if cycling the power on the 12volt would fix.

Does anybody know why sometimes the car refuses to go into eDrive with the button? (well mine does - sometimes it take a couple of eDrive button pushes before to allows eDrive?) Doesn't seem speed or power demand dependant.
Range sounds fine, maybe a wonky sensor causing confusion in the software? Pulling the fault codes may offer some insight.

Mine occasionally won't let me go into e-Drive, usually when I'm climbing the hill on my way home. I believe it will refuse if the computer expects too much power demand or maybe the ICE needs to keep running for cooling purposes if you've just been thrashing it.
