Another stupid question I have...

[Arizona Willie]

I have Chill and Standard acceleration listed.

Is Chill slower or faster than Standard?

Slower acceleration

No question is a stupid question.

But this one comes pretty close.

Chill mode is where I’m back too, it prevents high Jack rabbits starts off the light, I’m not into racing anyone and I drive very efficient. Also there is a lot less stress on the battery in Chill mode. In standard mode when you step on it, the Voltage Sag drops to 326 volts on average and in Chill mode the Voltage Sag drops to 350 volts. So Chill mode is less harder on the battery for those that are looking for battery longevity. Matt Shumaker of Tech Forum put it to the test.

Can easily be moderated by your foot, without being in chill mode.

I would rather have the acceleration available, and never need it, than the opposite.

We've had our LR Model 3 RWD since August 2018 and I've always used Chill mode since I'm never in a hurry and I enjoy driving this wonderful vehicle. I recently noticed that my car's efficiency (miles/KWh) seemed to be lower than usual and I decided to switch to Standard. I don't do jackrabbit starts but find the car even more enjoyable to drive and, lo and behold, my car's
efficiency has improved!

Completely agree. I tried chill for driving efficiently but found that I could easily modulate the accelerator to mimic chill while having full acceleration if needed in an emergency.

The one area for me that Chill is helpful is when using AP in traffic with constantly fluctuating speeds (including spot-and-go). TACC wants to treat the accelerator as an on/off switch sometimes and Chill takes the edge off.

Very interesting. I though Chill was slower but wanted to be sure.
I've always had mine on Standard but was wondering.

So now I know.

1. It is slower to ACCELERATE
2. I say turn it on on an inconsequential drive and see what it does (says the guy who has never tried out the other steering options)

So, decided to try this yesterday on my way home from work. Don't know if it's my imagination or wishful thinking, but it really did seem to do what you are saying. And it's quick and easy (three screen touches) to switch back and forth when I exit the highway and stop using AP.

For when you're tired of having your head banged against the headrest.

Will try it!
