Configure CT to rear wheel drive only

[mrcyber]

Can you configure the CT to rear wheel drive only and will it save battery consumption?

If you have an AWD version it is RWD most of the time. Induction motors are typically left off to avoid parasitic drag, so the front motor only kicks on when there's slip or is always on in Slippery Surface Mode.

The CB is reversed, since the dual rear motors are induction, meaning it's FWD most of the time.

Not currently aware of any way to force RWD besides maybe off road mode and shift the split to the rear?

If you're trying to save on battery though, no need to do anything, the twuck is already doing it for you. Smooth inputs and maximize regen braking.

Only in off road mode can you set motor bias, including to 100% front or rear.

No that's not a thing, the truck will only use power as needed, you don't need to worry about it

What triggered my question is that on the display under Dynamics is a Handling Balance where you can slide the wheel power 100% to the rear. It may be in off road only.

Correct off road only -
tons of fun doing donuts in snow or sand

This guide is a useful resource for Offroad Modes. Specifically mentions donuts being best achieved with Baja and full oversteer on the slider.

Since it's all electrons and software instead of valves, solenoids, and clutches, it seems like a very easy thing to do to give people the freedom to off-road as they like. Rally proved long ago that AWD is faster, but there's no denying RWD can be more fun.

Baja can be too much fun in fact --
