Yes, thanks.
So, in low, it has not been confirmed or denied if all purpose and sport are the same if stiff or soft for both...

I thought the exact opposite. Stiff is a bit softer now and less aggressive, throttle maybe mapped better but the feedback on suspension in sport/stiff got worse.

Is it just me or has this latest update made sport mode much more responsive? Previously you had to get pretty deep into the second half of the pedal to feel it and now you can get into the speed pretty easily.

It is much nastier now. I love it, my passengers may not.
I noticed things were snappier in All Purpose mode, by a-lot. Have’t tried Sport mode yet. Definitely a different throttle map.

It feels to me that the drive system response is different/better all around. regen and throttle seems to have less play/lag. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but the motor whine seems different. It’s almost as if it’s using more of the motors more of the time. This is only my impression after one day, but it was a noticeable difference. This was in all purpose.

Sport mode does seem quicker and I might be crazy but I also feel like the motor whine is louder with it too. Throttle response on sport is much snapper.

Wanna try something fun, switch from sport to snow and see how incredibly slow the throttle response is in snow. It's great for snow but it's pretty shocking to feel how much these trucks change between modes.

+1! Stiff mode is so much smoother now and actually usable. I couldn’t bear to use it before

I nearly always drive in All Purpose mode, Standard Height and in Stiff Mode. The Stiff Mode could be a bit harsh before the update. Post update, it is still firm and still gives good road feel without being 'floaty'. Stiff Mode seems a little quieter now, too. Honestly I was a bit surprised this part of the update seemed less prominent in the release notes when it changes the vehicle so much. Sport mode also has better road feel and it does feel a bit faster. Great update!

Downloading now. I'm almost always in sport mode, so can't wait to try this out!
Damn all purpose is so comfortable, I felt that sport is too bouncy on normal roads. If you were driving on fun roads all the time, yeah, but my 31 mile freeway commute isn't great in sport.

Low is less bouncy than Lowest, but I do switch to All Purpose in some areas, especially speed bumps

Yup. I took a turn today and broke all 4 loose. I was prepared for it and have done it before in more race built vehicles. I love this update. A 4 wheel burnout is such a cool feeling, provided you know how to drive out of it of course.
