Is anyone else on a 2022 Plaid S running into this issue?
I've recently discovered the wonderful launch mode that gets enabled with Drag Strip Mode. If I'm at a light and feeling stupid, I will go into the menu and quickly toggle on Drag Strip Mode, smash both pedals down and some random time later release the brake when the light goes green.
Needless to say, launching like a grandma after so much buildup is very anti-climactic. I reported the issue to my service center and the advisor said Drag Strip Mode uses cameras to see if there are people around and adjusts power accordingly. Has anyone heard of this? Any ideas on what might be going on? He asked me to send them a timestamp the next time it fails so they can pull the logs.
tl;dr; Pressing the "go" pedal in Plaid mode is often much faster than "go" pedal in Drag Strip Mode.

- In most cases, it says "Preconditioning Battery for optimal performance, 10 minutes+ remaining" and I don't care
- Sometimes it will say "Both pedals are pressed, power reduced", and I fix this by releasing and re-applying, and it goes away, so I don't care about that either
- Sometimes it will say "Lowering suspension for optimal something", and in most cases I let it finish, but sometimes not, and I don't care about this either.
