Looks like it has way more customizability for torque bias and stability control and gives much more vehicle metrics information. Plus built-in track timer and track cam recorder. Take a look (he actually explains track mode v2 at 6:00 onwards):

Im curious if or how the power output changes with the different bias settings . For the sake of this conversation if for example at 50/50 r/f it makes 450 awhp will the total Hp output still be 450 if at 75/25 or just 100% rwd?

I wonder if Tesla will be monitoring secretly what setting people use as a “free” R&D for them on their next updates or future models ?

Yea that YouTuber has owned many supercars including two 918s, bunch of lambos, McLaren Senna (which burned to a crisp), etc. He always comes back to the 918 as the ultimate all round driver's car. So it's high praise at least from him to compare to a 918.

Yea I think if you go full rwd only then it drops the hp for sure, probably to about 370whp. But you could just add in more front motor until the balance and power is where you want it. I haven't played with it myself yet so I don't know if you can set profiles for corner-entry vs exit, etc. Most likely Tesla is gathering data from these uses as well. They did that with the automatic wipers and continuously improved it.
