03/2024.57 - Anyone else notice a dramatic improvement in throttle response?

The difference is quite noticeable. It's almost as if they remapped the personal setting to replicate the sport setting. Throttle response is absolutely immediate and very, very linear with the same degree of "pull" from 20 mph to 60 mph as from 0 - 30 mph. The throttle response had already been excellent but this update seems to have improved it pretty dramatically.

There's nothing in the update notes about this and I can't recall anyone else commenting about it. This would only apply to ICE vehicles, of course, and I can only speak to the 540 varient. Not sure if this would be noted in the 530

Has anyone else noticed this change?

When I get in the car and fasten the seat belt, it moves the seat down and back first and then puts it in the set position and tightens the bolsters like in sport mode. I think this is because of the change in response that you mentioned. I have the EV and it’s always fast, though.
