I've noticed a weird behavior in my car. If I am pulling away from a stoplight using moderate acceleration, the car will hesitate slightly before the power comes on. The best analog I can provide is when driving a manual transmission, you let out the clutch just a bit too quickly for the amount of throttle input you're providing and the car will lurch slightly as it slows down before accelerating again.
If I accelerate hard, the car launches forward as you'd expect, no problem. If I accelerate very gingerly, it is smooth.
I thought this could be related to the hold function not releasing the brakes properly so I checked the fronts and there is no obvious evidence that the pads are seized or not releasing, though I didn't pull the pads to check. Even when my P85D had seized pads, its acceleration was still smooth from a standstill.
I am hesitant to waste time putting in a service ticket for this without more information as I have a feeling Tesla will tell me all is well (there are no errors), but it is an annoying quirk I've not experienced on any other Tesla I've driven.
