What is the driving range in Valet Mode??

drove around for about 15 miles in valet mode the other day. Didn't notice a difference in my wh/m at all, in fact it went up. I think the terrain you're driving over has more effect on your range than the mode you're in.
I still think it would be possible for Tesla to make an eco mode that actually effects range though. It would be more sophisticated than just what valet mode does I would think.

I'm certain they could. Not sure they could reach the highs (or better, lows) of jerry33 but I'm sure they could create a mode that improves on what we see today. Why aren't they doing it? The risk that the driving performance in THAT mode becomes what the Model S is known for.
I certainly wouldn't mind having an Eco mode on my P85D. I don't think I'd spend a lot of time in it (heck, I experience range anxiety with my 60 only a hand full of times), but on those days when every Wh counts that would sure be useful to have.

I agree. If it just limited the power like range mode in the Roadster, I would be happy. I found it a bit easier to be gentle with the acceleration when driving my S in valet mode since the throttle mapping makes it easier to get just a little power without having to be super careful with the accelerator.
