Default eLSD % while driving

What does the eLSD read while normal driving speeds?

It shows two components on different axes:

- % of engagement of the clutch packs
- % slip between the two wheels

I think it confuses a lot of people because driving straight down the road it'll read 30% and people will think that's the amount of slip, but that's the amount of pressure on the clutch packs locking them together.

So, the top number is the amount of LSD lock, and the bottom is a sweeping graph showing the amount of slip.
