Not really, Chill mode badly cripples the car. Stupid to have a 500 BHP car and restrict it. It's pretty much the same acceleration as my other half's Juke. Fine for around town, but if you do a lot of intercity motorway driving (which I do) it's a PIA on long motorway journeys, which is why I always try and buy cars with a lot of torque.A Tesla in chill mode is actually still quicker than most other cars on the road! If you’re struggling to drive it normally then the problem can’t really be said to be the car!
Every car you drive that isn’t your own needs some degree of extra “assessment” as to its performance before you decide to make a manoeuvre that places particular expectations on acceleration, braking or handling. (We probably all do that when first driving an unfamiliar hire car.) However, to avoid any issues for drivers I think it would be a good idea for Tesla to let them know if the car has been set in Chill mode. (People reading this thread will have no excuse because we now know about the issue and can check the car settings before driving off.)
In tesla's defence they (sort of) let you know. In the agreement you sign it sees the speed will be restricted, which is eminently sensible, I just didn't twig that this would also lock chill acceleration
