Disable stability control without disabling ABS?

[MountainPass]

What if I want to disable traction control but leave stability control??

We took a new approach to it and now have 5 settings of various traction control slip, with VSC still on, and also a party mode with everything off for those discerning drifters.

Curious if you guys have done any testing (and if so with what results) on how much dialing back (or turning off) TC impacts things like 0-60 times?

though I suppose "proper" testing would end up needing to mix in different tire/wheel combos too- since it seems like with stock TC on stickier or tires don't make any difference to acceleration even on a P let alone slower Model 3s, but probably would matter if TC was turned down?

It is winter here right now, but when it warms up we will do this comparison with the stock economy tires, and our sticky RE71's.

How cool - That sounds amazing! Reminds me of the Performance Traction Management settings on my Camaro ZL!. Please tell us these are close to market-ready. Any chance for a pre-order?

I will talk to Sasha about it! This year for sure.

Great! I guess now I wait and hope the price is right....

Can't wait for some hooning in the 3, like this S is doing

Pro tip: Disconnecting one of the ABS sensors on Model S disables stability control and ABS... : teslamotors

I know this went dark almost 4 months ago, but was hoping for a status update. Source the right connectors? Where would this plug-in anyway?

I've been enjoying the RWD beta version. They have it back now making some updates, so it will hopefully be ready for prime time soon!

@MountainPass - It would also be great to see a new RWD dyno run with the recent Tesla firmware power improvements. Any chance of that happening?

For sure! We are overdue for that.

I'll be trying out the PartyBox beta v2 at Tesla Corsa this weekend. Hopefully it plays nicely with Tesla V10.

It worked well for us at the last track day, it just doesn't jive with autopilot checksums so we left it unplugged on the way to the track.
