The snow is finally here too so chill mode it is for now but I am noticing something strange happening as we cruise the divided highways. I didn't think much of it at first but it just keeps happening. Cruising along just a few miles over the 70 mph speed limit and these very loud vehicles, invariably with dual exhausts come flying up next to me and slow down, keep pace until they realize I'm not going to play and then, again, interrupt my quiet with their acceleration. I am so so tempted.My daily driving game is to NEVER touch the brake for a 30 mile commute.... mastery of that pedal is a ton of fun. I progressed from chill to insane fairly quickly and got a handle on the throttle but there is NO place for sport or insane mode once the snows are on and winter has set in. Still being 12 years old internally (and 58 outside) I did slip into insane a couple of weeks ago and did a launch on dry road from a stoplight as I saw the mates in the car behind me at the light had the camera going, big smiles on and where animated in their discussion so I have them a treat and ME ! At the next light it was all thumbs up and big smiles from them and I tried to look as cool as (im)possible sitting there looking like it was nuthin........ I have not tried drag mode yet either. I know many roll their eyes when the pilots and ATC folk here make comparatives but this car is as close to the flight deck as you can get where everything is muscle memory and deep knowledge of the systems. Probably why I love driving my LR as much as flying ! Enjoy as I am sure it will just keep getting better. This is my first EV/Tesla and I could not imagine going back to ICE.
The thing I have noticed at lights is that in sport mode, and probably in chill I just get in to it a little bit and by the time I check the rear view mirror traffic is a couple hundred feet behind. All done quietly and showing little sign of any effort. Just here and then gone.
