Driving Modes

IMO, sport mode should probably be called normal mode. It's way over-boosted and there's little if any road feel.

It sort of feels like they added some artificial resistance to a steer-by-wire system (i.e. no mechanical link between the front wheels and the steering wheel).

Tesla's sport mode is probably fine for traditional luxury car buyers. Not so fine for many BMW/Porsche drivers.

Realistically, it's actually very challenging for performance car manufacturers to get their electric steering-boost systems to work as well for drivers as traditional hydraulic systems.

Fortunately, Tesla could probably tweak the boost characteristics of their installed base of cars if they ever chose to do so. And maybe even add a "Super-Sport" or "Track/Competition" mode!
