Torque vectoring in MX Plaid

[greidy]

Does anyone know if this functionality has been enabled yet? Are there any references to it at all in the display? I'm curious what practical utility it has (if any).

it basically makes your car turn faster and reduce understeer or even induce oversteer. However afaik it's only really noticeable in MS track mode, because by design all Teslas have traction control that makes the car slightly understeer for safety.

Vehicle Virgin's Plaid track mode video said that it felt as if the car has rear-wheel steering

Thanks, that makes sense.

I was hoping for some real-world utility like a tighter turning radius when parking, U-turns, etc. Might be something we get with a software update in the future.
