English term or phrase: elicits a nasty drivetrain buck
Although it's a prototype I'm driving, the differential is going to need a lot less lash when you snap on and off the accelerator, which presently elicits a nasty drivetrain buck (this probably isn't helping the brittle transmission, either). "Drop-throttle" basically tailors the car's inherent mild understeer, but what's interesting is the regen's strong drag when you lift. In fact, often the friction brakes aren't really needed at all, and when they are, your right foot gets to enjoy old-fashioned sports-car braking feel because the regen isn't concomitantly ramped up. On the move, the Tesla's ride is surprisingly supple.

causa strappi non piacevoli della trasmissione
Explanation:
drivetrain = driveline = trasmissione
combination of all power-transmitting components from the clutch via the gearboz and propeller shaft, if any, to the final drive and axle shafts (also called power train)
