Finally got a P100D loaner!!

[tyson]

So after a few years of service visits I finally got an S P100D loaner! Except they nuttered it! Speed limit mode is on and so it's locked to chill mode. Apparently it's a new policy they say due to too many people running the loaners too hard.

 

[Tic-tac-toe]

Sad for you: What is the speed limit?

With the car on chill mode, they could have loaned you any other car. Why loan out a P100D at all

+1, that’s just stupid.

 

[Zextraterrestrial]

you cant turn off chill?
my coworker had a new 75D loaner (owns a S85) and it was on chill, he didn't know what that was and I said you need to turn it off!
he managed to and was pretty impressed with the unlocked AWD 0-60

haha...'nutter'

I got a P100D with 200 miles on it back in July as a loaner. I was so stoked untill I got in the car and saw it was locked in Chill mode. I get why they do it but I thought nice loaners was supposed to be a way to get owners to upgrade to newer cars. All I wanted was to do a few hundred Ludi launches that day haha.

 

[appleguru]

Last loaner I had was locked into chill mode AND speed limited to 78mph

Not going to say how I know this, but I had a P100D loaner and it wasn't locked in acceleration, or speed They said locked at 85 mph, but a little birdie told me they saw 124 mph.

 

[Kuhz]

Hm. First time I hear they lock it into Chill. Every loaner I’ve had was limited to 80mph, which is fine, but driving in chill sucks!

Oh God don’t remind me of that!
Can’t recall how many times I’ve taken my car in for service or repair expecting to get a nicer model s as per the “top end model” policy, only to be stuck in an enterprise ford.

Also happens to be the time when you need to take an important client out to lunch

So they instituted this policy after you returned the car

This is great. You can tell the client how frugal you are and careful with money and how you will do great work for them!

But what if the client is from Dubai and your job is to purchase extravagant items for his new mansion...

Thanks Tesla!

If you're right, I apologize to all affected

 

[Snowstorm]

Locking it to say 85mph is ok but locking it in chill mode? That is counter productive. I have never seen that.

A P100d is a chance to impress someone to upgrade, or better yet, convert and ICE buyer to EV. Locking it makes no sense.

Are they still hiring?

Not anymore!

Chill mode in a p100d issue like non alcoholic beer or decaf coffee

Exactly the reason we bought a P100D. Once you’ve driven ludicrous and tried lud plus, it’s hard to drive anything else. That’s the whole point of a P100D, a total blast to drive.

I have friends who collect and race Porsches but the P100D is way more fun to drive than any two seater roadster... and you can carry a bunch of kids and all their stuff too.

I had a P85D loaner, I accidently tripped the valet mode, car was stuck with like 100HP and a 70MPH. It was boring as hell to drive.

As much as I love the power, I found the constant lifting of the front end to be quite annoying.
