Explain "Chill" Mode please.....

Meanwhile over here when the light turned green, I crossed over 3 lanes of traffic to hit the on-ramp with less than a quarter mile the do so.

Corvette in adjacent lane and BMW M3 over to the right of the Corvette.

In front of both of them as the wheels were just spinning.

Me wondering about chill mode performance is like wondering what being a eunuch is like. :D
 
That seems reasonable. 280 hp for the normal AWD, and 204 hp for chill mode. That would mean HP is about 0.73 of normal. On the other hand, 0-60 time is about 7.6 s for chill vs 4.6 s for normal, which leads to a slightly different ratio (0.61). Maybe that difference could be due to drag?

Quick point of order, AWD is 4.0 flat 0-60 since the 5% SW update if you actually measure it the same way they measure the P...and about 4.2ish if you don't.... confirmed by car mags and numerous owners using their own testing devices.

(Tesla intentionally- and dishonestly- measures the P differently from all other models to make it look better though)
