Drag Strip Mode
Drag Strip Mode preconditions the Battery and drive unit to ideal operating temperatures for timed acceleration. Model X stays in Drag Strip Mode for three hours, even if you leave the vehicle. After three hours, the feature times out to prevent unnecessary energy consumption (for example, you leave the vehicle and forget to cancel Drag Strip Mode).
When using Drag Strip Mode, Model X consumes more energy to keep the Battery within an optimal temperature range.
Cancel Drag Strip Mode at any time by toggling Drag Strip Mode off.

- Wait for the instrument panel to indicate that Drag Strip Mode is Ready to Launch.
- Once you see “Cheetah Stance Enabled” and “Ready to launch” on the instrument panel, release the brake pedal to launch the vehicle
