Burnout mode?

[dusty]

This is insane. Anyone have insight on how they pulled this off?

 

[Ferociious]

That is cool

Unplug one of the abs sensors on the front axle...

Elon’s face popping in tho... lol. Does track mode come close to something like we saw in this video?

Looks like the "SWITCH" is probably fake since it is just a web page.

There was another video a while back (Sep/Oct last year) that made the rounds soon after the release of the firmware that allowed wheel size configuration.

It showed a procedure that involved toggling the wheel color via the GUI that triggered a glitchy reset and which put the car in a all-nanny-systems' off mode.

If this unintentional/intentional glitch still works, it should result in above (temp until next hard reset).

Glitch enables the ability to do doughnuts and burnouts and drifts...

Wet ground burnout vs dry ground burn out. I just don't see the point of trying to burn the tires off like that. Short burnouts I'm all for. Those tires let go and you can do severe damage to the car. Anyway here is someone being stupid at an intersection

Unless you are a hormonal teenager, it is lame and senseless!

I definitely would like a drift mode option for my M3p!

As Generator said above, anyone can get the same result by unplugging the wheel sensor. What is unique is that they have some way to remotely disconnect and reconnect the sensor. Pretty cool to not have to crawl under there to do it manually every time.

That said, the driver is obviously an experienced drifer. Cool stuff.

It would be nice if Tesla would enable the option to disable the nannies like other manufacturers. I would also like to see the ability to control the torque split on the AWD models.

I think it’s fake. Looks like they’re using the web browser and have coded up a simple graphical switch, but a real physical switch somewhere out of shot will be doing the disconnection.

This was my guess as well. Just had a cursory glance through the unofficial Tesla API documentation and found no API commands that could disable the traction control.

If their on-screen switch is real, they have it hooked into some sort of LTE-enabled smart-switch, and the switch on their screen triggers that smart-switch which disconnects the sensor.

So should we just throw the V2 Partybox in the garbage then? Just when we got some kits made..

 

[Kilotango74]

Great. A$$hat mode.

@MountainPass Your fellow Canadian had this since the last decade.

Serious M3 drift sequence starts at 6:32 mark.
