feature request: steering wheel control to switch Chill/Standard modes

[phaduman]

I am seeing myself switching between the two modes frequently. As already felt by Tesla, there is advantages to chill mode. Having a quick access to the chill/standard mode toggle under the right steering wheel lower button (like sunroof, fan control etc controls) would be quite useful. Have the chill mode upto a traffic light, then swiftly switch to standard mode without moving your hands off the wheel, and surprise your passengers with the sudden improvement. .

How or when can I get the steering wheel option on my car?

its built-in for all teslas. Click the right lower streering wheel button, you will see the call history numbers. Use the right scroll wheel to roll up and you will see the temperature, fan, sunroof etc controls...

Does chill limit full throttle acceleration as well? You figure, if someone is flooring it, they want all the car can give. I thought the curve was different, but top end was the same.

I think it would be great to add a Chill / Standard mode option through the steering wheel controls; in fact, it would be nice to add several other feature settings - Climate On / Off, Separate Driver screen / Center screen dim / brightness control switch, etc...

Of course, it would be even nicer to get 2017.44 first, so I could actually use the "Chill" mode if I wanted lol

And how about the most logical one...

Steering wheel heating on and off.

As for Chill, my only wish is that it would react to flooring differently. I can see the safety aspect of needing maximum acceleration in an emergency. If they could figure this out somehow, that would IMO make it perfect.

I thought the option would move the steering up and away from you as exited the vehicle? Did I misunderstood the new update?

Moderate it via your right foot, then having to switch it is unnecessary. No need for "another button/switch".

that's a diff feature and available as part of driver profile setting configuration, no need to press any button to activate it - it is set up once and then just works.

That doesn't work for cruise control or EAP where you don't control the pedal

A thousand times yes. For both safety and comfort's sake.

I sent Tesla and Elon a tweet on 11/7 asking for this feature but no response.

I had this on my BMW M3 and it was super handy.

P100D has Chill, Sport and Ludicrous so it would be really nice to have those options at my fingertips for comfortable driving to blasting past someone all just by scrolling the wheel.

don't see the option or maybe I am doing something wrong.
