launch mode

The problem with a really smart car is it can sabotage you. OK here's what happened at Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, CA, last night: Race 1: Against a Model 3 Performance. I had him off the line and was pulling away. Suddenly the car slowed. It caught me by surprise. I...

@ElonMusk @tesla It occurs to me a couple tenths of a second could be shaved off the Model S in Launch Mode if FSD could be employed to identify the drag strip's green light and launch on its own. Removes human reaction time. Cool new feature? :) :) Sure as heck that feature wouldn't hurt...

I just bought an MX Performance and would like to try out a few launches with the Ludicrous+. Does anyone know a good place around San Diego to do a few launches with running over a few kids in a neighborhood or getting unwanted attention by SDPD?

Hey everyone, My first post here. I gotta say, the disappointment pushed me here to post something. I got a brand new P100DL+ and I absolutely love my car. However, No one really challenges me for a go on the road, I guess once they see the badge, they know it's over before it starts...until...

I've had Tessie for 11 months. Never have I tried Launch Mode. I've done a lot of acceleration runs without it, but today was different. I printed out the instructions then drove to a lonely desert road. What follows is what I posted earlier on a local car enthusiast website: Tesla's "Ludicrous...

I own a 2018 MX P100DL with firmware 2019.20.1 in Holland. Yesterday I had a charge state of around 80%. I use "Scan my Tesla" with ODB CAN bus and did an acceleration test with my son. It said 3.59 seconds to 100km/h in Ludicrous mode (no battery heating). I then proceeded to activate...

Took a friend and his nephew on a ride yesterday to demo some features of the Tesla. They are into exotic and performance cars and wanted to learn more about it. In the parking lot, I went through a lot of the features of the car and they asked a lot of questions. Then, I took them for a ride...

Hi everyone, The other thread (Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits) has reached 167 pages and the data is getting buried in the discussion. I wanted to start a new thread just for posting data documenting the amount of power everyone is losing with the latest software update. Details of...

yesterday i got the news that my February 2016 build model s p90dl needs it battery replaced. i cant help but laugh at this because of my post in the pack performance thread in January. after speaking with the SC, i find out that the P90D battery is not an on shelf item and i have X amount of...

This is a quick demo of the new Launch Mode as part of firmware 2.9.40. The conditions were not ideal as this was on a slight incline, battery was not at optimal charge, and not at max battery power; however, it does show views from inside and outside the car.
