I had to open a service request to get the update pushed to the car as it wouldn't pull it down. Based on the previous nightmare with launch mode and Max battery power getting borked, that was the only thing I tested so far. Seems to work fine.
I have mixed feelings on the new launch mode though. Love the new sequence however they clearly changed the physics of it. It seems like what they're doing is locking the drive gear or something at the motor level and then releasing it when you get off the brake. It feels far more abrupt/violent so people with more used tires are probably going to see a lot more spinning. The previous version definitely preloaded the axles as you could feel the motor torque the wheels and the car squat. When drag racing a manual transmission, this was the holy grail method of launching that was so difficult to do but results were incredible. You would partially engage the clutch to preload the axles so it reduced the abrupt transfer of power and improved traction.
I'll get her to the track soon to see if my numbers have improved and also report on any other fixes/issues it introduced.
