Tesla Lent Me a P3D for the Night!

I’m surprised no one has mentioned left-foot braking yet - that would surely reduce the response time of going from accelerating to braking.

Maybe if they put a brake pedal on the left side otherwise it seems like that would be uncomfortable. Also, going back and forth between that and driving stick would be interesting!

From motortrend. Not sure what Elon is trying to say in that tweet but 1g of regen at 60mph would probably cause the battery to burst into flames. Also the motors aren’t large enough.

There is a budget for cornering that you have to set aside. I think the limit is that for street driving. There might be a track mode that combines radius and uses everything that is there in a continuously variable way. I don't see how you could put it out for everyone to use on the street...

Is it wrong to be aroused?

For the current 3LR the limit may be set to that since you definitely don't want too much rear braking. For AWD the problem is that the traction limit of the tires at 60mph would require more than 600kw of regen. I don't think the battery can handle that. Maybe the New Roadster!
