Acceleration Modes Note: Launch Mode is available only if the Launch Mode ambient temperature is 37° F (3° C) or Launch Mode, available on Performance All- warmer. Wheel Drive vehicles only, provides optimum acceleration on surfaces with good traction. Note: Hard acceleration including, but not limited to, using launch mode, increases stress on the vehicle‡s powertrain, and can cause premature wear and aging of various components. Model X constantly monitors powertrain fatigue and damage, and notifies you if vehicle components need to be serviced. Warning: Use Launch Mode only in appropriate locations where there is no cross traffic or pedestrians present. Launch Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses. It is the driver‡s responsibility to ensure that driving style and acceleration do not endanger or inconvenience other road users. To Activate Launch Mode 1. Ensure the brakes are slightly warm by driving for a few minutes and using the brakes a few times. 2. Set the air suspension to Low or Very Low (see Air Suspension on page 157). 3. Set the acceleration level to Insane or Ludicrous and enable Max Battery Power. Note: You can use Launch Mode immediately after enabling Max Battery Power. There is no need to wait until Max Battery Power is in its READY state. 4. With Model X shifted into Drive and at a complete stop with the steering wheel straight, fully press the brake pedal with your left foot. 5. While still pressing the brake with your left foot, fully press the accelerator pedal with your right foot, then release the accelerator pedal. The instrument panel displays a message indicating that Launch Mode is enabled. 6. Within eight seconds, fully press the accelerator pedal a second time to pre- load motor torque, then within four seconds, release the brake. When you release the brake, Model X launches forward. Note: Launch Mode is not available if Slip Start has been enabled (which allows the wheels to spin). See Traction Control on page 73. 78 Model X Owner's Manual
