For those with Ludicrous mode, how often are you in it?

i have a P100D. It's my daily driver and I leave it in Ludicrous mode all the time. It's a fantastic feeling!

in terms of how often i use that ludicrous acceleration ... pretty much every single drive i find an opportunity. an on-ramp, a stoplight, passing at highway speed... it comes in handy being able to virtually teleport into a spot in traffic.

99+% of time in “regular” Ludicrous daily-driver mode, preheating battery to at least 80F before driving (using can bus data). The other <1% time in Ludicrous-Plus mode (with battery at 122F) reserved for the rare VBOX-instrumented accel test.

P85DL. Ludicrous at all times when I'm driving. Because I'm almost always on city streets or crowded freeways, I rarely have a safe opening for power launches, but I love launching the second stage rocket blast from 40 to 60. It is almost as good as teleportation.

When other family members borrow the car, I ask them to drive in Sport, which is closer to what they are used to.

Ludicrous 100% when I'm alone in the car. If I have passengers, I'll sometimes put it into Chill if they are complaining, I really don't want people throwing up and ruining my nice white seats...

I just took delivery of my first Tesla and I'm in-love :)
I got the P100D and tried the various drive modes. To be honest, those modes are a great reminder why I got the P100D.
I plan to leave it in ludicrous mode 99% of the time.
