Has anyone felt like they lose traction when turning on the Cyber truck?

About 2 months ago I put some new wheels and tires on my cybertruck, I am loving the look, even though I have lost a bunch of range, well I guess it's the price to pay to look cool ? the good thing is I work from home and I don't need to commute. Everything has been great up until last week, after getting my truck back from service. About 2 weeks ago I took my truck in to the dealership, I was experiencing some problems with the navigation and the cameras. Turns out that the computer fried, Tesla had my truck for over a week and put a brand new computer in it. Now I am experiencing something different, every time I turn I feel like i loose traction to the rear, like if the wheels take a few seconds to straighten out. If I turn and accelerate I can hear the tires trying to gain traction, as soon as it gains attraction it does like a hard bump. Have any of you guys felt this? I don't think it's the wheels because I have had the wheels for over 2 months. I checked all The Wheels and tightened up all the lugs, I found a few lugs loose, nothing crazy but I snugged them up and I am still experiencing this.

I don't think I was turning hard, but there have been a few occasions when the seat of my pants suggested the back end had engaged late or a little too aggressively. Just a little acceleration bump that wasn't smooth. I can't replicate it and it might not even be what you're describing.

My guess was that it decided late that the accelerator position demanded rear drive as well as front and engaged it with a bit of a snap.

Any chance it was over a metal grate?

Trimotor or AWD?
I have noticed the rear wheel steering can make it feel like the back end is sliding when it's just doing its thing.

It's the AWD, I've been noticing it more and more, maybe because I've been on alert. I'm thinking of throwing the stocks back on and see if I feel the same. My wife thinks it's the wheels!
