So at close to or at "WOT", from speeds under 40MPH or so, I tend to hear a low/dull "groan" coming from the front end of the car (under hard acceleration). Not necessarily Bear Launches and/or hammering the accelerator all of a sudden from a stop, either; just leaning into the accelerator in Sprint from a slow speed is enough to trigger this.

The rear end squats considerably under big power, so I'm *thinking* the weight shift away from the front end is causing enough traction loss for the TCS to start pulling power from the front. I think this is the sound I'm hearing (the TCS working) but this is also my first EV, so just wanted to make sure this sounds "consistent" with how the TCS's in these cars should sound (or if the sound could be something else that needs further investigation)

No other issues with car (many known software glitches/bugs aside ofc)
