Winter is coming.
And with that winter comes the need for less aggressive driving.
Version 2018.39.6 gave my 2014 pre-Autopilot S 85 a selectable CHILL mode. Upon testing, it did nothing but put a CHILL icon in the instrument cluster. It was removed in 2018.39.7.
From reading the forums, I know that CHILL mode is basically just a PIN-less VALET mode without the top-speed limit, while still allowing access to the glove box and frunk.
All Tesla cars have the ability to restrict top speed, acceleration, and aggressiveness of the throttle response as evidenced with VALET and SPEED LIMIT modes.
So why not give us all the CHILL mode for safer winter driving? The RWD cars are the ones that would benefit most, but many of these RWD cars are pre-Autopilot and don't have it available.
Maybe it will take a high-profile winter wreck (icy roads, Tesla drives into a school bus, coverage all over the national news) before Tesla takes action?
