Yes, I just started playing with turning off the traction control and the truck is much better with this turned off as it's quite interruptive. My modified Corvette had the same issue.The smooth power delivery, low noise and size are factors. If you want it to feel faster, turn off traction control for some added noise.
Are you in 2 or 4a? While I can't throw my XLT w/ 4a around like I can the MME, the MME's torque vectoring is the best 'put the torque where it needs to go' system I've ever driven. I've got a few more days on my insurance monitoring period before I can really get back to beating on the vehicles,Yes, I just started playing with turning off the traction control and the truck is much better with this turned off as it's quite interruptive.

I needed to pull out in to fast moving traffic and it was a bit scary to have the truck all but die in the middle of the road on me, and I had to let off the throttle completely, then slowly roll the throttle back on.
In my case, losing control of the vehicle due to no TC is no concern at all. I'm as comfortable and controlled while sideways in an automobile as I am going perfectly straight.
The other thing I noticed is that acceleration seems smoother and surer footed with TC turned off even at times that I didn't realize that TC was being disruptive.
Except for during inclement weather, I'll be turning TC off every time I fire the truck up moving forward.
There really is very little additional drag on an EV for AWD, such is the nature of EVs.Are you in 2 or 4a?

The higher trim MMEs has 2 identical motors front and rear w/ completely open diffs using the brakes to effortlessly and seamlessly put the power down. Daily I have a tire coming off of the ground due to stiff suspension and there's no wheel spin as the system instantly reacts without even a hint that the system is working. I suspect a very similar system is present in the F150, particularly in 4a. The MME drives like it's on rails that the steering wheel effortlessly moves around. It's very predictable and repeatable performance. You can scare the shit out of passengers without meaning to once you're used to its predictable capabilities, particularly pulling into traffic w/ cross traffic present. You see an opening and you go for it. No spinning / noise / fuss, it just does exactly what you want it to in the manner you expected it to do it.
Air lock hubs?There really is very little additional drag on an EV for AWD, such is the nature of EVs.
However, in the case of my Powerboost, engaging 4A induces notable drag in the drivetrain most assuredly reducing efficiency. Guessing the air lock hubs lock in? It's not something I would engage unless everyday conditions warranted it.
@Sixslow Any concerns with e-30 sitting in the tank for a few weeks or a month?Well, loaded both the Livernois 87-93 performance and finally the E-30 tune a few days ago. With the 87-93 and 91 in the tank, I was kinda disappointed at first, Kinda expected more.
Anyways, I quickly finished that tank of 91 and threw in some E-35 loaded the E-30 tune. Bam huge smile on my face. Truck is an absolute animal now. Truck honestly feels faster than my full bolt on 2015 supercab.
Datalogs and draggy times coming soon.
No not really. But I burn through a tank every week or two tops. My previous truck I've never had issue with probably put 100k miles on the E30 tune.@Sixslow Any concerns with e-30 sitting in the tank for a few weeks or a month?
