Sure but who is better at modulating acceleration you or computer? My bet it is computer 99% of the time.Yeah, I think Plaid mode as well as all the other modes just change throttle mapping or power delivery in our case.

100% computer is better at modulating acceleration. I'm just saying the power delivery of each mode is adjusted accordingly. If I baby the throttle in plaid mode, I bet my range won't go that much further than chill mode. Earlier I posted about getting 91% efficiency on my short 8.5 mile drive in plaid + autopilot mode so it was the computer modulating the plaid power curve.Sure but who is better at modulating acceleration you or computer?

Of course it is! Because the temptation to accelerate is hard to resist, and your ability to modulate the throttle requires more finesse, too. If you don’t want to think about it, use Chill mode. It actively makes it harder to use energy since the throttle mapping is changed. If you’re cruising at 60mph you’ll see no range difference between Chill and Plaid modes.Mmm no. Read manual range section or how to extend your range. It is recommended to drive in chill mode to get most efficiency!
I would think plaid mode uses more energy. The manual notes that in plaid mode the battery is maintained within certain temperatures.Of course it is!

The manual does state this, but I hear no battery conditioning like I do immediately when enabling Drag Strip mode. This may be a factor when driving aggressively, but under “normal” driving conditions I can’t see there being any difference between Chill and Plaid in terms of range that aren’t due to driver pedal application. But…maybe someone else can run some plug-in-device tests to see power usage.I would think plaid mode uses more energy.

you only have the possibility to get better efficiency in chill mode because the car cant draw as much power therefore using less every time you accelerate.Mmm no. Read manual range section or how to extend your range. It is recommended to drive in chill mode to get most efficiency!
This 100%.Plaid all the time. Your foot is the modulator. No reason not to have that power when you want it/need it.
No range effect. Only drag-strip mode affects the range as that heats/cools the battery pack as necessary.
Do you feel the difference between Sport and Plaid around town? I thought you might not see it unless you were in drag-strip mode. Does Plaid affect tip in or is it only affecting full throttle response? Do you think Plaid mode would make it too easy get out of control for the average driver stop light accelerating.Plaid all the time. Your foot is the modulator.

It only gives you the power your foot requests. You can put around in Plaid all day longDo you feel the difference between Sport and Plaid around town?

An abomination.What is Chill?
I kinda agree with William here. Sure for most ppl the easiest way to get the most range out of their Tesla is by putting it in range mode - but what does that actually do other than moderating the acceleration and reduce peak power output? Unless there's real world evidence that a Tesla traveling at 70 mph in insane mode uses more battery than the same Tesla traveling at 70 mph in range mode that I am not aware of.Mmm no.
