    So that’s why they transferred an engineer from SpaceX to Tesla!

    "That's my kind of mode".

    Bisco, but you have that mode already. ECO (throttle response) mode.

    You got the update, huh? :D

    On a more serious note, have you tried the new mode?

    On a more detailed note, Tesla has figured out the battery & Motors can take more stress than originally presumed. Therefore if you go into the shop, they can do some type of Hardware mod that enables even more HP. Owners are referring to this mod as 'uncorking'. That's the last thing my lead footed better ½ needs. We haven't taken the X in for that mod. Once owners get the 'uncorking" done, chill mode appears on the display - so drivers don't end up with passengers getting thrown back into their seats . Let's keep this littleupgrade between you and I. ssshhh.

  14. My idea of smooth and relaxed Chill driving mode is listening to ambient space music while the Tesla preps me a latte
