Towing & Hauling / Dynamics menu content? And how good is the stereo?

[Skydog]

Hello does anyone know what settings are under the tow settings? Has anyone heard the stereo and what they think and compared to a 2021 Plaid?
Thanks Matt

This is a screen shot taken from the Top Gear review of the Towing and Hauling menu.

It shows settings for trailer brake gain. I wonder if Trailer Alarm is some kind of trailer sway warning.

Awesome thank you!!! My biggest fear I don't want the bumper on the ground when towing I would sure think the air ride should keep it up and you can maybe adjust it. Will be towing like 8,000 LBS with 200 pounds tongue weight.

Tow settings look really slick. Sure beats the single “tow mod” button on my Model X.

I wonder if this steering wheel icon (top,left on right side) is the trailer brake controller?

The UI for this release is software V0.1 lol. The off-road interface also looks bare bone.

Is there a screen shot of off-road?

No Mia culpa, bare bones as in it's not there, and surely something should be.

actually, no, it's there

And I quote Top Gear: "The engineers have been telling me about adventures they've had in Baja, doing jumps, and the suspension is all set up for that... for soft landings and it can take all the punishment"

Whether it’s dual or tri-motor, I don’t see any place on the CT off-road screens, Overland or Baja, for the diff lock. I’ve watched Jason Cammissa’s and the Top Gear video’s and there’s really no discussion of off road capability. 0-60 in 2.6 seconds is fun once or twice, and I acknowledge that 99.9999% of my driving is in 2wd, but it’s offroad potential of the CT that attracts me. I guess I just gotta be patient.

Knowing Tesla and what this truck is made for I am ? in off road mud and snow it's going to be just unbelievable ? ?!!! One Main reason I ordered leaving in the country farm land!!!

Once or Twice??? Dude, we gotta ride together sometime! Once or twice PER STOPLIGHT maybe! On the freeway, someone tries to slide up the moment you turn on your turn signal, BAM I'm ahead of them and made the lane change. Then there are just the random "I want to see what 50-75 feels like today" moments. 2.6 would be a blast EVERY time you get in the CT.

I’ve held an SCCA National Competition License (amateur club racing, but wheel to wheel not track day) and have owned motorcycles for almost 50 years, currently ride a Ducati. At my age I like torque and easy passing, and being able to keep to the speed limit on mountain passes in the west. So 40-70 mph is nice, and I’ve driven a few Model 3’s and appreciate that kind of power. But 0-60, especially in a truck? Very low on my priority list. The performance of a 3.5 EcoBoost Ford with zero tailpipe emissions and near silent rock crawling with good articulation, ground clearance and traction, plus a bed long enough to sleep in are enough for me.

Love me some torque. Everyone thinks HP, but torque is king. Started to race Formula Vee at Laguna, but got a job change and had to bow out. (mid 90's) I raced kart at Willow back in the day, and with the WSMC in a CBR900RR and an FZR600R. Used to have a 999 Duc. Which Duc do you have?

I have an early 900 Monster, not exactly a sport bike but plenty fast. I also briefly raced AFM (Northern California) on a GpZ550. Did I mention I’m old?
