Is there any noticeable difference in range with the Chill Mode?
Does Chill Mode make the acceleration curve more smooth or does it just reduce the horsepower?
Does Chill Mode also reduce the regenerative braking?
Even on boring chill mode, when I slammed the pedal to the metal after rolling a second or two, all of my passengers were still very much impressed. I keep it in chill mode to contain the tiger!Lesson learned here is to rotate your tires every 2k miles if you drive like @GeezerSquid . I found I can drive with enthusiasm as long as I am not going WFO right from the launch. Wait until about 15-20 mph and your tires with thank you.
All the instant torque just shreds the tires if you use it at launch. On a roll it takes less of a toll. So drive like a Geezer at first, then once rolling, hit it like a Squid. Your tires and pocketbook will thank me later.
As mentioned, Chill mode does nothing but make the car boring. Speed is your real enemy of range.
This is great advice. I have been concerned about how the Tesla handles snow and icy roads. Fast acceleration is now a great idea. But I am more concerned that the inability to reduce the regenerative breaking will make skidding more likely when slowing down or stopping on icy roads. I wish Tesla has an option to reduce the strength of regenerative breaking under such conditions.I find chill mode to help in the winter on snow. I wouldn't consider myself a lead foot but while in sport mode I was slipping more often than I'd like coming off a dead stop. Chill mode eliminated those slips and winter driving was a more pleasent experience.
Any idea what the 0-60 mph time is in chill mode?
YesIs the diving mode connected to the driver profile? I think my wife would prefer Chill Mode and I would probably want to use Standard most of the time.
Under driving you should have options for regen, Normal and Low. I use chill and low in the winter. I even made a winter profile so I don't have to remember to change everyone back and forth.This is great advice. I have been concerned about how the Tesla handles snow and icy roads.

One other thing that chill mode does is reduce rear tire wear. I got the Acceleration Boost the same day it became available. I replaced the tires trying to improve ride quality. The new tires were 80,000 mile Bridgestone's. I, and my total lack of impulse control, wore the rears out in 7,000 miles. The cost of acting like a 15 year old at almost every opportunity finally caught up with me. It's now Chill almost 100% of the time.

Yes. The low regen option is gone now.The OP doesn't state the year of his MY. If he has a 2020 then yes, he can adjust regen... sadly they removed this option for some reason in the 2021 cars.

What?! That's wild and a little sad. I had no idea. Thanks.The OP doesn't state the year of his MY. If he has a 2020 then yes, he can adjust regen... sadly they removed this option for some reason in the 2021 cars.
