Yes, it felt like a Chill mode.

Ok, thank you! I never tried to drive my car with a low SOC and cold battery, and it was very surprising to me.

So, you want to say that it is normal? It was really slow. Much slower than my model 3 RWD.

Really? But I never noticed any power loss on my Model 3 even when just a few miles of range left.

Hello! I test-drove used Plaid today; the car was very slow for some reason. I switched acceleration into sport or plaid mode but nothing changed. It was slower than my model 3 RWD. What is wrong? There are no warning messages. Maybe that’s because the remaining range was only 20mi?

Ridiculous.

Yes, that's crazy but it's very hard to pinpoint these intermittent issues. I hope they will fix it this time.

What did they do this time?

Unfortunately, that's how it is. I can tell you the story of one of my customers. She was about to buy a new Mercedes with MSRP $100k. When I looked at that Mercedes I saw these gaps: She asked the dealership to fix it before taking a delivery. They answered - go f. yourself. They refused to...

Audi and Lexus had similar systems too

A variable steering ratio is a stupid idea. It's not safe - at different speeds, the same steering input causes different reactions. Or just imagine taking an exit from the highway and slowing down at the same time - you are on the circle curve, you keep the steering wheel at a certain angle but...

I don't worry about reliability. I worry about artificial steering feedback and constantly changing steering ratio. All these variable steering systems have been on the market for many years and haven't made a revolution to say at least.

Take it easy ) It's under warranty - eventually they will fix it. Are you surprised by the Tesla service quality? But the same is everywhere. Mechanics are terrible nowadays. Sometimes they do more harm than good. It is normal.

You should just replace that stupid $100 battery first and see what will happen.
