Does anyone else notice the car limiting acceleration during and shortly after a hard corner?
In my old car (Infiniti G37S), if I floored it while making a sharp turn I would get a satisfying squeal of the tires, my back end would slip out a bit, and I'd have full acceleration throughout the turn and afterwards.
The same move with the Model S is much less exhilarating. It feels like the car is holding me back. Not sure if it's the stability/traction control. I confess I am not looking at my dashboard when I try this - I'm looking at the road. I assume the traction control is coming on because I get very little slip of the tires. My main issue is that the acceleration is quite limited during the corner and for about half a second after the turn is complete. Then, with the accelerator still floored, I feel the full power engage and I get the nice boost. I want my boost back during the corner though.
Am I dreaming this behavior, or is the car limiting it's power?
No lectures on safe/immature driving please... I drive very safely and occasionally like to punch it from zero when there's no traffic ahead. I did get the Performance for a reason.
