Watts to Freedom Mode (WTF)

JimsH3 · Oct 21, 2020

The Watts to Freedom Mode (WTF) is what makes the Hummer EV the "Supertruck" that can hit 0-60 in 3 seconds.

What happens when WTF mode's engaged is:

Ride height lowered by 2 inches
electronically controlled dampers are stiffened
Puts the three-motors on full power
Motor inverters unlock additional current and initiate additional cooling
The seats rumble and the speakers make bass sounds to let you know what's going on
Put foot on brake, put foot on accelerator, and let go of brake

Love that name lol, great trolling there. As expected, the Tesla fanboys hate it, because it sounds like something Elon would have come up with. I love this, not just the performance, but the "Watts to Freedom" name...we're turning electrons into insane speed!

I have not been able to find this information anywhere but can someone verify what is the 0 - 60 mph time when not using WTF mode in the Hummer EV?

Supposed to be 3.0 seconds. Most times have been more like 3.7 or so but still fast for this beast!

Are you sure? This would mean WTF mode will be less than 3 seconds going 0 to 60.

I can’t remember which reviewers tried it now, but they saw about a 2 seconds difference between 0-60 times in and out of WTF mode.

which sucks since tesla is full power all time in plaid only diff was in launch mode which would be wtf you shave maybe .1 or .2 off but not much at all its more for traction then anything 2 seconds is huge that means 0-60 is only 5sec? ugh thats slow

True. Well even with Tesla ya have to keep it in say insane or plaid acceleration mode depending on what trim you have. To achive that top stated speed (or close) you also have to turn on drag strip mode and use launch control, similar to WTF also.

my plaid would do 165 in plaid and 175 in track mode but who even needs 165 lol but the 0-60 and 1/4 was same minus little added traction on launch it drops front end down some as in my pic

The Taycan is similar to WTF in that you only get the full rated power for 2.5 seconds at a time and specifically for launch mode.

dje · 2022-08-11T13:15:36-0400

Yeah its such crap, I had a taycan turbo and the only way you can use the added power on the turbo S is on launch control. Any other mode the make the same exact power.

Thought the best real world I’ve seen is about 3.5s. Rivian is closer to 3.0 and the drag races look like it confirms that

I feel like with different a set of tires and software update on the speed limiter the outcome could change between the Hummer EV and Rivian.

Possible, be the hummer always weighs about 2000 lbs more than the Rivian and is just physically much larger too

Is WTF mode on eve EVx2

Here is a drag race result, Lightning, Hummer, Rivian. Hummer slightly won the 0-60mph, and the Rivian slightly won the 1/4 mile. The Lightning, 2 versions, was way behind in both. The Rivian was not hitting 3.0 sec to 60mph.
