I drove my Model Y Performance through a section of highway that hadn't been plowed in a few hours by the city during a Wisconsin winter. Despite having some winter tires on, I started to slip a little bit, and could feel the car in the beginning stages of a spin out. The car's aggressive traction control took over, and alternated spinning some of the wheels on the left and right depending on which direction the car was facing. So while it seemed like I was going to spin out, the car did everything in its power to prevent that, and eventually I was able to right myself and continue driving.
When it comes to winter driving, the Model Y has been the best-performing vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’m very impressed with how it handles Michigan winters.
@@user2C47…and that’s where regenerative braking comes in. Yes yes, I hear you, you’re a smart person and you’ll preach about traction control and AWD, but just get in a Tesla M3 or MY and experience it for yourself, okay?
We Kiwis had NO idea this was going on in our own back yard! Meanwhile I see more and more Tesla's every day in my city and on the open road. Something big is happening!
It was talked about quite a bit on the FB EV forums last winter. There were photos of a black refreshed Model S charging at places in the SI and also a few people reported talking to some of the testers.
I always find it amazing seeing so many in the UK when until fairly recently they all came from 1 factory in California. I just can't believe why people crap all over them, they do nothing but amazing things
@Jasper Percabeth well at the moment I work for harvest Solar as a design engineer and run a financial company with a friend so around 80 hours a week. I'd be more then happy to work hard for them
Our 2022 Model Y Performance has been absolutely amazing in winter conditions here in the Northwest! I am very impressed by how the car handles in the snow/ice. It is nice to know my wife and kids are safer while going to school/work every day! Thanks for posting this behind-the-scenes video. It is fun to see what is being done!
As an automotive engineer, I really understand the joy within the team when they are on that awesome place, doing that awesome work. I personally love all the car testing and verification activities and the winter testing is one of the best for an engineer to encounter. Good job, Tesla!
Ran into a couple of these guys in an S at the Christchurch Superchargers, great approachable guys. Nice to see this video, especially as I didn't realise how many people and cars they had here for winter.
Just drove my 2 year old Tesla Model 3 Performance in the Swiss and Austrian Alps, eating into every curve, no matter deep snow, fresh ice or mud, It's so aggressive, yet easily controllable, just FUN and FUN and FUN... NON-STOP.
Just picked up & drove my Model y performance through a blizzard in upstate New York ...... I had performance tires on and still made it......get me OUTTAAAAA HEREEEE❄️❄️❄️
These guys sound pretty effective and motivated. Can we get them to work on the auto wipers? They currently suck and I use them more than track mode on my Model Y ;)

Winter Mode needed. Squirrelly driving snowy I70 in CO, with snow tires. Rear-end wants to come around on slick downhills when lifting the accelerator lightly. winter needs a more balanced if not front wheel drive bias. Perhaps winter safe and winter “drift” for hooning. Need one tap mode buttons. winter, sport, comfort.
I recently drove through mud on accident in a long range rear wheel drive model 3. I should have noticed the lifted trucks parked not far away. Everyone thought I was going to get stuck, but the car handled well and I was able to rock my way out of a sticky situation.
Some of the worlds smartest engineers working at Tesla to bring these great products to consumers globally I know for damn sure that one day I will own a Tesla
went from seeing about 1 or 2 tesla's a day 3 years ago to now easily over 30 to 40 and those are the ones ive noticed not the ones i didn't notice, definitely a explosion of tesla's going on here in New Zealand ATM
Really? Then you have never driven before EQE with air suspension, AWD and rear-wheel steering (by lower speed in opposite and at higher speed in similar), alike some city buses.
Saw lots of 3s and Ys making steady progress in Canada’s recent snowfall, but also several struggling and spinning their wheels trying to make progress up snowing/icy mild slopes and out of snowy street side parking spots. I imagine that snow tires would’ve helped quite a bit. (Admittedly, all drivers don’t have the same competence level, either.) By contrast, a Prius (AWD?) easily maneuvered out of one of those same parking spots. Anyway, love seeing the high EV adoption rate. PS, a Volvo Polestar looked at home in the snow, as, I guess, one would expect. :)
This is all about tires. I drive my model 3 with studded winter tires in northern Norway, and I have zero issues with traction on snow and ice. No car can drive safely on snow/ice without proper tires.
I wish customers had a better feedback option too. I’ve been working with a lead service centre tech on the “auto defogging” which my car is constantly doing and even after an escalation to engineering we get a “this is normal” when the loaner vehicle produced in the same quarter behaves completely differently and there’s no issues with sensors
Had a co-worker try to argue with me that Teslas didn't have heat pumps either when I said "ya know the Mach-E don't have heat pumps so your battery loss in cold weather gonna be bad." He was so confidant until I showed him several articles and materials saying otherwise
Well somewhere there about. I thought it was 9% tesla and 21% mach-e or something like that not sure on exact percentages but yeah substantial differences
Most US cars has had heat pumps for 70 years now. They are usually better known by their other name "air-condition". And they are only used for cooling the cabin. 😉
Question then do you like this? ruclips.net/video/FsNxzLeQ68U/видео.html it's not a Tesla but a Rimac doing a 360 drift. =) 4 electric motors and 1914hp
I was amazed by the Autopilot feature in my new Tesla. Until Halloween night when a car swerved into my lane and the Tesla couldn’t tell that the costumed children on the side of the road were children.
Interesting how the synth from the chosen song resembles the rhythm of a combustion engine revving. Makes me think about the possibility of getting such a synth sound as a synthetic engine sound preset such as the ones that Teslas already have. And it would just play some smooth chords lol

What tire brand?

Except you should really have traction control off. Works better with off-road or slip start.
