Plaid track mode imminent.

"Snow/Ice" preset would be nice as well!

That would absolutely only happen (if ever) outside of Track Mode. Like a winter-driving mode that maintains many of the traction systems but switches the car up to a more FWD-bias for inclement conditions.

So I assume the reading is not accurate when you start adding different wheels with more air flow, ducting or rotors with a higher thermal capacity.

So it will be inaccurate with upgraded rotors, telling you are overheating when you are not?

That's correct, it is the same with the Model 3. Just ignore the warnings if you have upgraded brakes!

Bummer but that makes lot more (implementation) sense.

Depends what you are looking for in "Snow" mode. Having now been 4 weeks straight in snow packed roads, this car has the most intrusive stability control of any car I have ever had. I thought the M3P was bad, but this is horrendous. It cranks on the brakes even at painfully slow speeds around corners.

In the M3P in Track mode, the "winter" option turned it into a decently good winter car as it would rotate a tiny bit. I can hardly wait for my car to get the update so I can place it in "winter" track mode constantly until the roads clear up.

Oh I’ve no doubt that Tesla is intrusive, but I think they can also provide an even better mode for snow.

They do.

Winter setting in track mode is way better.

 

[WilliamG]

They do.

I mean they could provide something outside of Track Mode (which is harder on the battery pack at a time where you want to be conservatively using energy on those trips in the cold/freezing weather).

In the screen shots I saw, I believe there was a Snow setting as a standard within Track Mode

Yes, but that person created it; it was not a Tesla provided “preset” like the other two!

Gotcha. Thanks. Still waiting for the update. Based on TeslaFI data only 8 of about 60+ have received the update.

They created a "winter" mode preset for the M3P, not sure why they wouldn't for the Plaid.

Did they? What are the settings? We can make custom profiles on the plaid version.

I don’t think that’s right. My M3P had Drift and Race presets.

 

[ICUDoc]

This guy posted a long video and he says that the update is amazing. That the car suspension and brakes feel amazing.

175mph, and he just chats away. Mental!
Australia has a limit almost everywhere of 68mph....

 

[whenryb]

More updates rolling out now including me!!

Yup same with me, it just finished downloading.

 

[ninefiveone]

Race and drift presets are included and you can easily add/create your own. You decide f/r power split and how much stability control intervention with sliders.

 

[FastMatt]

Anybody try running the draggy in any of the track settings? I'm surprised how fast the car still feels in drift mode, I figured with it set to 100% rear power it would feel slow with out the front motor working, the car still feels just as fast lol. I got a feeling the front is not totally off. I even set the car up once with 100% to the front wheels and it still pulled very hard.

 

[3rdpower]

Interesting. Going to 200 mph incrementally through multiple updates perhaps? Or not at all?

High speed rates tires necessary

 

[URBAN LEGEND]

I’m cooler now. I got the track mode and them.
