Second gear starts seem very logical, but, from a stand still, how does the transmission computer know whether to start in first or second or possibly even third ?
Under heavy loads, I'll bet it never shifts to 8, 9 or 10 ! I can't wait to see a tow up to Eisenhower Tunnel !
The default is a second gear start. I have driven vehicles like this. Throttle input, drive mode, engine load or other inputs can dictate a quick downshift or actual first gear start as necessary. I have no idea how this transmission is programmed.
