P3D+/P3D- Owners: Do You Ever Use Chill Mode?

[AdamVIP]

Ugg I should have used Chill mode last night. I had my first Police interaction yesterday on the way home. I hit an awkward yellow and started to brake but didn't want to slam them so then chose to accelerate through. I didn't run a red but the officer didn't like the brake to fast maneuver and pulled me over. He was quite nice in the interaction. I was asked the usual type stuff and we talked about why he pulled me over. He did comment on my personalized plate with FAST in it suggesting this may be a habitual occurrence for me. He asked if I'm pulled over often and if I had any tickets or warnings. I don't but he did run my license and registration. I think based on the clean record and my honesty to the questions he thankfully let me off with a warning. Overall given the circumstances it was a pleasant experience. THe officer was very cordial and we shook hands at the end.

I put Chill mode on this morning to get me back into the slow groove.

Chill mode when it rains, possibly snows, wet ground. No way I'm letting AP use sport on wet roads. You are asking for it.
Wife drives on chill as well. Chill on long distance trips saves 20wh/mi

You legit see a consumption difference on chill using AP? I’ll have to test this further as I’ve not seen the same.

I've tried chill mode once and it honestly felt unsafe, especially when trying to get on the freeway. I just kept mashing the peddle wanting more power. I figure it's safer to learn how to properly throttle the car manually at full power than to wreck it because i couldn't give it enough juice on chill mode.

yes, I have a 4 month old son and have to put it in chill mode or I might scramble his little brain.

Just tried chill mode for the first time in probably a year. Much better than I remember but I didn't really see any improvement in whm. I got about 280whm but I can easily get that or much better when I drive conservatively in Sport mode. I've gotten as low as 190whm in Sport mode.

I’ve used chill mode when I don’t want stuff shifting around too much inside the car. For example when transporting a propane tank.

Observed the same, so I don’t jack with it anymore.
