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

If only there was a selection button to inhibit free will and prevent stupid behaviour in all aspects of human activity.
But would we select it....
I got 53,000 miles out of my LR factory tires, drive in chill, and find that it’s pretty damn okay!
Let me guess - 19"?
I have the 20" tires and I'm down to 5.5/32" from the original 9/32" at 16,500 miles in 99.999% Chill Mode, which, by the way, is still slightly faster than mashing the accelerator pedal to the floor in a 1999 Buick Regal with a 3.8L V6 engine that I owned. The sense of acceleration in an EV can be deceiving because there's so little noise and vibration compared to an ICEV.
At my current rate, I expect to be down to 2/32" (the minimum legal tread depth here in Texas) at 33,000 miles. That's not horrible, but it's certainly not great and somewhat disappointing.
I originally ordered the 19" wheels because they're $2,000 cheaper to buy initially, replacement tires are cheaper, and they offered a smooth ride. Ultimately, I was not happy with the idea of owning a vehicle with plastic wheel covers, so I changed my order to the 20" wheels and I am very glad I did.
I have also thought that was odd. I assume the software function for acceleration accepts a Boolean (or the data model for acceleration is a Boolean) and can therefore only handle two options.
I tried using chill mode but abandoned it; RWD is pretty chill by default.

I am trying to find it. I guess it wasn't in the manual, but it was either in a thread here on on their official discord channels. The switch is instand but the power ramps up over some time. The same is true when you change the regen amount. I assume the car does it to avoid a sudden change in acceleration or deceleration when switching.

Then I'm surprised by how you're not following. It's best to move on at this point. This topic is almost completely irrelevant anyway but you're making it personal, steering it into a conversation you wish it to be instead of the conversation it is, both of which tell me to resist further explanations.

If you wanted, you can program the left button on the steering wheel to switch between 'chill' and 'standard mode.' Long press the button and scroll up or down to your choice. Easy switch when you need it without going through the menu system. That's what I did, but I rarely use the normal (standard mode.)

You might try saying "acceleration mode." I think I tried it before but I can't be sure. I used the words 'chill mode.'
You are soo right. But as someone who frequently drives in NYC, where the speed limit is 25 mph, and where my own daughter has amassed five camera-based $50.00 speeding tix in the past two months, I only slip out of chill for special occasionsBut it can be so much more than just okay! Just sayin'
Press the car icon on the lower left hand side of screen. Press ‘Display’ scroll down to ‘Scroll Wheel Function’ and choose ‘Acceleration Mode.’
normal mode. the power and acceleration are the main reason I got the MYLR, my short list was Mazda CX-5 turbo, Subaru Outback turbo, or Acura RDX. all three options were turbo, which i didn't really want since my 2014 Kia Sportage SX AWD 250hp turbo going bad ($5,000 to replace) was the reason I had to get a new vehicle. it was really fun to drive, i really liked it. i would have gone with either the Honda CR-V hybrid or Toyota Rav4 hydrid if it wasn't for their 8s 0-60 time.

I'm sorry if my previous post seemed too personal. I hope you will accept my apology. I will try to do better in the future.
