Pull to the right under power
My car seems to have a condition whereas when I really am on it, when I hit full boost the car seems to pull fairly decently to the right. It's not hunting for the ditch or anything like that, but feels almost like the crown of the road all the sudden got stronger. As soon as I let off the gas the correction that I am applying to keep it straight suddenly it's too much in the car starts going left in response.
Is this normal? Or is there something wrong with my all-wheel-drive?

Torque steer, but from what, don't know. Usually a front wheel drive issue, not awd.
Control arms, motor mounts, needs alignment maybe.

There a few threads on here about this characteristic. The general concensus is that it is most prevent when passing another car (2 lane road) and under hard acceleration. Speculation is it is a combination of the rear dif, in connection with a steering wheel turned slightly and the electronic stability and drive mode settings.
Yes it exists but no known solution or correction.

no error codes shown. PSM on.
The thing is when I boot it from low speed in my Model 3 Performance it’s just bolts forward straight as an arrow. So I’m familiar with what a 0-30 run in the low 3 second range feels like. That car your mom could do it.
I should also say that when doing launch control, the car skews hard sideways. And there is a lot of wheel spin.
It’s under warranty so I’ll take it in.
