Weird drive by wire feel

When I test drove the Titan,I noticed it was very "jerky" from a dead stop.I finally got the hang of it and barely pressed the pedal.It might be the drive by wire technology.We are accustomed to pressing the accel.,and having that mechanically opening a throttle plate;now when we press it,it sends a signal to open the plate.Maybe it is the nearly instant nature of the drive by wire signal versus the certain amount of delay from cable stretching,slack being taken up,whatever,that we get with a pure mechanical throttle.Maybe Nissan just didn't calibrate it well enough to mimic the mechanical throttle??
I'm guessing.It is worth mentioning it to the service rep.Luck,Charlie
