Any feedback on how the car drives in Chill mode?
Drag Times did a test in a loaner 100D (new version October 2017 build)
at 100% his 0-60 times in normal mode were 3.8 and 3.7 seconds.
Then he went to CHILL mode....
the 0-60 time was 7.2 seconds.
It is unclear if P models will have the new CHILL mode added to their selection box.
In other words will it be CHILL - SPORT - LUDICROUS/INSANE as the choices.
My P90DL still has the PERFORMANCE choice easter egg.
That easter egg was developed so that Tesla Sales folks could use a P90DL as a demo car and then
change on the fly the performance characteristics to show prospective customers how the various
Model S cars perform. Therefore with one car on the lot you could simulate the entire sales line.
I am not sure the PERFORMANCE option is available on non P cars....
I probably should not have brought this info to light....??
So the PERFORMANCE option allows me to change the performance of the P90DL to any one of the following....
70
70D
90D
P90D
MAX
What is interesting is that the kWh/m consumption is also reflective. In 70 mode my P90D front wheels do NOT have
power and the steering becomes "light" feeling as if they front is not grabbing.
