Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

CHILL

NORMAL

 

[Chris Barnes]

I use chill mode. Keeps me from being stupid and saves on range.

I purchased '23 MYLR in April 2023. I purchased Acceleration Boost a month later before I had ever floored the accelerator pedal. In the 16,000 miles I've owned it, I can count on one hand how many times I've floored the accelerator pedal in Sport Mode. 15,999 of those miles have been in Chill Mode making Acceleration Boost a totally unnecessary and mostly wasteful $2,000 purchase for me.

Even when merging into freeway traffic, I've never found Chill Mode to be inadequate.

If tires were free, road rage didn't exist, and tickets were never issued for speeding or reckless driving, I'd use Sport Mode and give it all the beans every time a light turned green.

Normal but I drive very chill.

I tried chill briefly but it seems to reduce regen as well as acceleration. Since I like strong regen for single pedal driving I'm back to normal.

2023 MYLR purchased in March 2023, 15K miles. I've only used normal. Perhaps I should try chill because my tires seem to be wearing fast.

About 50/50. Chill in the winter and normal in the summer.

I don’t have a Model Y, but if I did, I would use SPORT mode.

Chill mode does not change the regen level. It only limits power and dampens the accelerator pedal curve.

I've only used Normal, so far.
I've been meaning to try Chill as I've been getting horrible range - thanks for reminding me

 

[Mike728]

I use Normal, but my wife uses Chill.

Mine is a Model 3, but I do exactly as you recommend in this snippet. My hands are still shaking from driving 6 hours ago.

 

[BitJam]

I normally use Chill Mode but I have the S3XY Buttons "kick down" feature enabled so it automatically goes into Normal Mode when I floor it. I also have a button to toggle between Chill and Normal. For me, Chill Mode is still plenty fast.

 

[MidBaz]

I use Sport in our MYP. My wife doesn't know it, but she uses Chill

 

[nkresho]

Sport here. I bought the car primarily for the acceleration.

 

[ATPMSD]

Normal. I use my foot to control the level of “chill” I desire.

 

[vlaag]

I always drive full throttle, Tesla's vision keeps me between the lines .. no it's chill, keeps me from triggering myself and keep it calm

 

[SalisburySam]

There’s a chill mode?

 

[zroger73]

Assuming you're not joking, yes. It reduces maximum acceleration and also improves efficiency in cooler weather.

You can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by reducing your selected acceleration mode. This allows the heat pump system to take more heat from the Battery to efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to provide peak acceleration performance. This helps to maximize driving efficiency in colder weather. Note that when subsequently increasing the acceleration mode, the Battery requires time to warm up before the increased level of acceleration is available.

I always have mine in sport mode. Most of the time I'm pretty chill with my driving, but I like to have all the power available at all times. The only times I've used Chill mode is when driving to an HPDE event and trying to conserve as much battery as possible while getting there.
