Default Launch Control

Has anyone tired the launch control feature? If so, what was your experience?

It’s incredible and fun to show to people who haven’t experienced electric cars before. I don’t do it at every stoplight, though!

Place your foot fully on the brake, then put the other foot fully down on the accelerator, wait for a green circle to flash around the battery percentage indicator, then take your foot off the brake and prepare for your head to be thrown into the headrest!

Default No launch control

I have my 2022 Etron in Dynamic mode transmission set to “S”. I then press the brake pedal down fully with left foot, wait a second and then push accelerator down fully with right foot. Power meter only goes halfway (50 %). What am I missing?

My '19 does the same thing. I don't get any "dynamic flashing" on the power meter. I always just assumed that for the e-tron, "launch control" just meant "the drive system preloads the motors so when you release the brake, there's no delay or ramp-up to full torque". I've tried several times and it always just does what jwcrkelly describes.
