Does the car feel quite 'darty' while turning with the accelerator pinned, especially on bumps/humps?
Cannot quite put my finger on it. Feels like extreme bump-steer with front suspension unloaded. Or is it the software, maybe?
That's not really what I'm talking about. Torque steer is a tug at the wheel when you're flooring it going straight. What I'm talking about is the car's tendency to dart left/right under hard acceleration on road imperfections. Feels like moderate bumpsteer. I wonder if any performance shops measured bump-steer curves of the front suspension.Yes, I don't know that I would call it torque steer, but there's definitely some small, dart-ish movement from the steering wheel under hard acceleration from a stop with my P3D+, though if my wheels are 100% straight it's generally not there.

That's a reasonable theory. Cause suspension-driven bump steer shouldn't be that bad with double-arm front design.the front tires are clawing for traction and as they do it wanders right and left a bit.

I've had a tuned STI in the past and it definitely did NOT do that. It also had a mechanical helical LSD up front. I guess I should write an e-mail to Tesla, hoping it would reach their powertrain engineers.
I'm not talking launch though. I'm talking flooring from a roll with the steering turned. Or doing a quick pass via oncoming lane. The STI would generally go where the steering wheel is pointing, the P3D can try to dart in any direction, based on the road profile.I had a tuned STI as well, but I’m not sure the comparison is fair. The P3D launches extremely aggressively due to being electric, no 6MT etc.
What are you doing? Trying to spin donuts?Does the car feel quite 'darty' while turning with the accelerator pinned, especially on bumps/humps?

First thing I checked. Nothing egregious, other than the ridiculously low stock camber for a 'performance' car. Didn't check caster though.might want to check your alignment.... also mention what your feeling to the alignment guy or service center, assuming they are good at their job they can probably fix what your feeling

But again, it's not a fair comparison. The instant power of the Tesla is a whole other world from the STI. Even if you were in the right gear in the STI (I was Stage 2, for what it's worth), it was nothing like the instant torque of the Tesla.
Sure, but I'm not talking about the car's reaction the moment I mash the accelerator. It's after the initial application, when I steer while still accelerating hard and drive over some road imperfections (or at least that's what it feels like).But again, it's not a fair comparison.
