Industry jargon

Cheetah stance

Cheetah Stance is Tesla's name for the suspension position used during the launch sequence in Drag Strip Mode on compatible Model S vehicles. The front suspension lowers before launch, reducing ground clearance. Tesla's current Model S manual still uses the "Cheetah Stance Enabled" message as part of the launch procedure. It is a Tesla-specific performance feature rather than a general EV engineering term.
