Thrust mode and wear and tear

[0-60 freak]

Im sure he's referring to launch mode, call the dealer and ask if a ppi can detect # of launches....i have a 2015 900mile white one thats never been launched, tracked or really even driven....but its 235k

No, he's correct - it's called Thrust Mode, and yes, the dealer can do a reading on LARA, and determine the number of times Thrust Mode has been activated. Problem is, it records the number of times it has been ACTIVATED, not ACTUATED. One can activate it, to bring up Thrust Mode, but if you don't release the brake pedal to take off, you of course won't launch the car, but the car's computer will log it as one usage of Thrust Mode. My car will have one usage activated, but I just wanted to know if I was doing it correctly - I've never actually launched it!

And to answer the original question - yes, of course using Thrust Mode many times will cause premature wear on drivetrain components, as opposed to driving it gently all the time. But, it's part of what makes the car what it is - I will no doubt try Thrust Mode out at least once for shits and giggles. Life's too short to baby the car all the time!
