I actually wonder how many people turn down their AC when these messages come across. I can’t see even 10% of people doing it. ---

Sorry, by down I meant I made it colder. At least my place will be bearable when we lose power for a few hours ---

Haha Right, that’s about my mindset. “Chance of power going out, lets get this house cooler before it does” ---

Does make you wonder how much those notifications make things worse instead of better. Like what is the percentage that actually bump the AC from 75 to 80 to help cut down on the load vs the people that bump it from 75 to 65 expecting the power to go out. ---

So one thing they are getting wrong if its true is the throttle attenuation, if what i’m reading in reviews is true. One thing I love about the Tesla is the instantaneous torque. I’ve read that both the Lyriq and Hummer modulate power output, easing into max acceleration. One article described it to feel almost like turbo lag. Hopefully fixable with software and not an equipment protection feature. ---

Interesting, I haven’t heard anyone complain about the WTF mode/response. I’ve been in both, but not for a long time so I won’t really comment. I will say they felt very EV to me, which means soulless, but I also hate how Tesla and most other EV’s drive lol. ---

I’ve been in a Tesla once and it was the most neck breaking acceleration I’ve ever felt in my life, completely instantaneous, there was no easing into full power. It also drove me and my crew to McDonald’s. ---
