*When you enter "Beast Mode", does it stay in beast mode until you take it out (like the Hummer EV)?
*What is the 0-60 time in Beast Mode if you don't do the "Launch Sequence"?
*Is the ride very harsh (stiff) in Beast Mode like it is with the Hummer EV?
*What is the 0-60 time in the Cyberbeast in normal drive mode?
*Any other thoughts, insights on "Beast Mode"?

1. Yes, stays in Beast
2. Dang fast, launch may make more if a difference for 1/4 mile.
3. Doesn't seem harsh, but see #5
4. Comfort: peppy, Sport/Standard: Fast
5. Hardly ever use it. Comfort in city/ country, normal on highway

I have a draggy and want to see my 0-60 in Beast mode when not doing a launch. If I had to guess it's in the low 3s, launch is noticeably faster and feels like a real 2.6 seconds.

I drive in custom 95% of the time, in Beast mode with relaxed/raised suspension. I've tried all the driving combinations and it's the one that seems best.

The one time I regularly take it out of Beast mode is when I'm pulling into my garage. Putting in chill makes me feel a bit more secure when I'm pulling within inches of my back wall.

I will end by adding a question of my own. I wonder if traveling at a consistent speed, does drive mode have a big impact on range? Say I'm doing 70mph for a 500 mile road trip in cruise except to make the occasional pass, if I keep the Beast mode on does this impact range meaningfully? Would you be better shifting to comfort or standard, or if you're at consistent speed will it not make a difference in battery consumption?

Same here, always in custom with beast power and relaxed drivetrain. Only exception is mountain road where I put to Beast mode.
I don’t like the other settings, in particular chill mode which feels anemic.

"I drive in custom 95% of the time, in Beast mode with relaxed/raised suspension." - makes sense for most driving not 100% high speed!

Cant wait to flippen try it!

For a given average speed, holding it consistent should be the most energy efficient. I think being at the height/configuration for minimum drag should be the highest priority.

Agree, but around town / traffic not thinking it makes too much of a difference, at least that I would care! Driving 80+mph down the i25 = absolutely!

I always drive in Beast mode, except when driving on roads I know are in bad shape, and then I change the suspension to relaxed.
