Drag Strip Mode (Plaid)

[smf72]

How long is it taking others for drag strip mode to enable? Mine is approx 11 min and often takes longer.

It's going to depend on your temperatures at the time. If it's a 90 degree day it will be very quick. If it's in the 50s it will take a while.

less than a minute at best
2-3 minutes typically

From my experince, the car takes about 12-15min to enable the drag mode when the car is completed cold. (Outside temp is 85F)

I’m in San Jose and it’s been in the 40-50’s but it always seems to take more than 30 min to pre-condition the batteries. That seems way longer than what everyone is posting here. Are folks getting the same numbers in colder weather? I just got my Plaid two weeks ago and want to be sure this is in nominal range.

40-50 degrees meaning weather

Can you do launches before the preconditioning is finished? If so, is it harmful in any way?

Yes you can and no, it’s not harmful at all

I have not noticed a difference in my dragy runs by waiting for drag strip mode to be 'ready'.

Yes, when it got to 0 celcius, it would take longer than 30 minutes.

Picked mine up a week ago, temps here in S. Florida have been in the high 70's to low 80's. I've used it 4 times, it has taken between 2-5 minutes to complete. Much different than my old P100D which was often 30-40 minutes.
