Has anyone experienced torque steer under hard acceleration? My Rav4 pulls a decent amount to the left under load.
Just drive in "normal" mode (217ft-lbs max). Driving in "sport" mode (273ft-lbs max) with a heavy foot, is much more likely to produce torque steer. This is probably why the car defaults to NORMAL each time you turn it ON, and why the i/p changes to RED - color of the DEVIL - to remind you when its enabled. :mrgreen:boredcleaner said:The follow-up question: can something be done to reduce it? I am not sure if ABS/Traction control/steering assist can interact in a useful way. Track bars? Using less throttle "fixes" it, but that isn't nearly as fun.
Dsinned said:Yes. First thing I learned from a "test" drive was how much torque steer the Tesla drivetrain has when making a U-turn while putting your foot into it. It was quite surprising actually!
