I really don’t understand chill mode. Is there anyone that can’t accelerate smoothly without chill mode? Smooth mode is necessary to achieve this? Really?
It's been mentioned already, but I think this is more for computer driving vs human driving. Some of us are trying to sleep on our way to work.Right?? I feel like this is sort of pointless... How about not mashing the accelerator? I mean it's not that hard of a concept but I guess Chill mode is a necessity for some...

I'm with you! One of the best feelings of driving a tesla is the throttle fit and feel as any performance car. It feels big and has good tension. I think what may get the masses compared to a high performance car is how instant the Tesla is. In an SS, Hellcat, ect, the motor must spin up, gears need to shift ect and then you get movement. Also there is a very small delay in any new ICE car due to the fact, no direct linkage from pedal to throttle body. So, mashing down on ICE gives you a second to think if you want to accelerate that much before the car moves. Tesla is all about NOW! Like everyone else, I'll give it a try. To me the real concern is when you're on the road and you feel you need the power to maneuver, it's too late to switch to controls, select standard and then accelerate.I really don’t understand chill mode.

I was thinking it was just a change in pedal mapping, but as described by others, it's not. It's a mode that reduces jerk by gradually applying the change in power.
Would that be "Drive it like you stole it" mode?Elon give me crook mode instead
This is a copy/paste from my response on the Model X forum but here's some data on "Chill".
Uncorked X100D
33F, Clear, Cold battery
Standard
0-60 5.0s
512 Max HP
Chill
0-60 8.5s
340 Max HP
Nice when driving on snow and ice...Actually, I am looking forward to chill mode. With a little one on the way, I was actually getting a bit concerned about my uncorked car and it is harder than you realize not to enjoy the acceleration of the car. Its no P100D but it has some concussive potential if you are a passenger caught unaware (or lacking in neck muscle development). The uncorked 75D has a lot more power than I'm used to and its a lot more willing to go past 200kw than corked.
I try to feather but its so easy with the uncork to get more than with the cork. Perhaps I will just get used to it but chill mode allows me to selectively put the cork back (and then some apparently).
Easy entry/exit is less useful as I already keep the steering wheel as far away as it will go. My wife and I are both over 6 feet so she basically just uses my profile anyways (she never even set hers to her keyfob). She does prefer to keep the wheel a bit closer to her as her arms are a lot shorter than mine but she's also very thin.
Right?? I feel like this is sort of pointless... How about not mashing the accelerator? I mean it's not that hard of a concept but I guess Chill mode is a necessity for some...
