I am under the (maybe wrong?) impression that the former issue is helped a lot by telling the car to accelerate in Chill mode instead of Standard, which causes it to purposefully carefully ramp a derivative or two of acceleration.

It helps less than you’d think. Part of the issue is that the tires are ultra low rolling resistance, and part is that the car weighs an extra ~500 lbs.

The car weighing a lot is the second issue, though, not the first. Is the ultra-low rolling resistance a third issue, or related to one of the other two?
