Korean test drive review

[Dortreo]

Seems like a pretty balanced review with the reviewer calling out issues as he sees them. The calm tone is much easier to listen to than most histrionic car reviews.

Hearing about passengers getting motion sickness is real good to hear since I know my wife is susceptible. I am curious if people riding in SUV and not sedans have gotten to comfortable with leg position. In videos doesn't look that high to me.

So the rear-view camera turns off once you start moving? Is there a way to select rear camera mode to remain on while driving, like in a Tesla? It is one of my favorite and most-used functions in my MS. Much safer than mirrors, IMHO.

And is it true that it takes 15 minutes for the batteries to warm up to use Sprint Mode?? That would be disappointing, since my average commute is about 10 minutes. Right now, that’s 10 minutes of Ludicrous Mode for me.

Right now, no, they engage moving slowly but auto shutoff above 15mph

Mmm, not sure but after 15 minutes is when the cooling system fans seem to diminish in sound. I'm pretty sure Sprint mode works right away, just like Launch control so have at it. I have never had to wait to utilize full batshit insane torque and acceleration, though, if you are trying to post drag times and what not I'm sure if you waited the full 15 you could do it without overly stressing the batteries

During my test drive this week, my host said the rear facing camera now works up to 30 mph, implying that future OTAs may provide functionality at full speed. I hope so. I also use the rear facing camera while driving my Model S.
