@@soothingsouth7664 I’m sure snow tires would have helped in this case but I’m telling you I drive off road all the time in deep snow in my Tacoma Limited with regular street tires. Never get stuck.
@@greekspiro nah it's more beneficial to put tires with better traction on dry where 99% of driving will be on rather than sacrifice a lot of dry traction for a tiny bit better snow traction.... buy winter tires, even budget ones are way better than best all seasons. don't spend 60k on a car and cheap out on tires then blame the manufacturer
@@greekspiro not at all. All season should only be used in California where theres no snow. Any all season tire sucks in any conditions below 7°c. Always invest in a good snow tire since they cost less than the depreciation from an accident due to improper tires. In Quebec it is against the law to not have snow tires from December 1st to March 15th and since that law has been implemented way less traffic collisions.
@@greekspiro yea, sorry I'm going to have to agree with all the other replies. Better to optimize for 99% of the weather (which is not snow). You can tell that these aren't snow tires by the way the snow is not sticking to the tire. Usually snow tires have these small small almost like cuts in them that catch snow and build like a snow layer to stick onto the other snow.
For the love of god man turn the steering wheel when you back up and are stuck in snow. Anyways winter tires is the way to go. Coming from a guy that lives in Canada.
After owning my Y for a couple months and driving through the absurd snow, I’m pretty impressed especially with the all seasons I got. I just wish traction control wasn’t so strict! I just wanna spin!
Winter wheels/tires have made a HUGE difference in the snow on my 2wd Chevy Bolt. I’d bet that you would have never become stuck with proper winter tires. I have Michelin X-Ice X13s.
Great Test, Thanks. Top tip from a 4 wheeler, in a situation like this let the air out of your tires. Not all the way but from where you have normaly go down to around 25 PSI, This will give you from 200% to 400% more traction depending on your rim size. Larger low profile tires will give you less than say a 18" rim. When driving on black ice and heavy snow you should always do this, full tire pressure is only for hard pavement surfaces where traction is optional. Yes on a long drive it will give you less millage, but if conditions are bad, your much more likely to get home in your vehicle, rather than a tow truck, then millage is not your first worry. CHEERS Steve h.
@@1MartinPL Those numbers are from my own tests with contact patch, as well from 35 years off roading. Tesla low profile tires will not be as great as the sidewall does not flex much. That said lowering the pressure will give you at least 100% more traction maybe even 200%. Easy test, Jack up your tire,paint a 4 inch wide strip from side to side put a newspaper under the tire then lower jack. Raise tire again, let air out to say 25 psi move paper to fresh spot lower jack again. Compare the contact patch to the first one. Or just drive to a snowey hill drive up till you can't. Back down, lower pressure drive back up, you will be amazed.
@@williamlai1200 Slip start can actually make it worse if there's compacted snow or ice below. We have lot's of snow here in Norway now, and there's a hill outside my house. If I stop on this hill going up I can't get traction if I use slip start, even with proper studless winter tires. W/o slip start I'm able to start climbing after a stop. Driving without snow tires in these conditions is hopeless, though.
From someone new to snow driving, this was very useful ! It shows the importance of winter tires and limits of All-Season tires M+S. Winter driving can be "normal" for some but everyday there is someone that needs this refresh ...
As a Norwegian, this hurts to watch..all season tires in the snow? A winter tire is supposed to grab and hold on to a lot of snow to cause friction. All seasons in this video doesn't do that at all. Put on some real tires! It's like riding a snowmobile on a slick belt..
Ground clearance is extremely important. You can't solve everything with tires. and infinite torque of the line isn't actually what you want. You'll never see a tesla down the roads I go.
@@nicholasthon973 actually from Finland, but there is just as much snow and heavy winter conditions there too! My tesla model y will be delivered with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 winter tyres. Absolutely brilliant winter tyres
If you get stuck there's an off road technique called steer for traction. When you apply power don't keep the front wheels straight. Steer sharply from left to right and keep steering left to rightas you add power until you have got unstuck. Seen this and it works. 👍
I was curious about Tesla's corrosion warranty since driving on roads that have had snow can have salt which can do a number on the undercarriage. Turns out Tesla has one of, if not THE, best warranty for corrosion. 12 years/unlimited mileage. That's impressive.
Great video! Thanks for having the courage to do this test! I’m moving to North Idaho and plan to get a Model Y. This is exactly the info I need. I will probably get SNOW tires! I read every single comment below this video. Good discussions. Thanks again.
Man you gotta learn how to rock your car forwards and backwards to get out. You don't want to be digging yourself a deeper hole, so the second you start spinning tires, you want to stop. You'll want to put yourself in Drive (F), and then Reverse and use the momentum to rock forwards and backwards to get yourself out Edit: Sorry just finished the video. Looks like you eventually did do some rocking at the end :D nice!
Good video, majority of people who buys awd will think "all I need is awd I don't need snow tires" and this is a good demo that awd is only park of the equation
buy snow tires...the end. I love when people decide to post videos about their vehicles and how they perform in the snow, as if the right AWD system will be the end all be all. That's like comparing an overweight or underweight person going ice skating without skates. Their size matters to a point, after that watching them bust their ass because they did not wear skates is guaranteed. It's all in the shoes peeps
@@DriversOnly You are welcome. May i know if you are using the GoPro camera & Gopro suction mount for your dash cam recordings? The video quality of the Tesla MY sucks. I'm looking for a better camera to capture some of my drive videos. Pls suggest me some tips. Thanks in advance.
This comment is out of place but 3 years ago I saw this video and I told my self I was going to buy one last year in 2023 I got a black performance model y, whatever you believe will come true in life never give up on your dreams and illusions
My crv handled 8 inches on 17 percent incline . I’m upstate New York and drive in the mountains to catch powder . I guess there’s a reason why u don’t see teslas on the mountains during a real upstate ny snow storm
Turning traction control completely off and letting it eat petal to the floor probably would get out of that, also sawing the wheel back and forth. I see people getting stuck all the time because of not completely turning traction control off and now there blocking the road. Awd and if it has snow tires should go almost anywhere in less than 8 inches of snow
Pretty good video but I wish you would have brought a yard stick and measured the snow depth instead of guessing. A lesson from your getting stuck is keep a small shovel in your car when you go out to test a car in the snow and wear gloves
We got 14.5 inches here in Nebraska on Monday. I don't have a Tesla, but my Explorer did fine without winter tires. Got stuck once trying to cross a main street that was plowed, but easily pushed it out.
Had a similar experience with all seasons and an Audi but our Y with OEM all seasons has really poor traction which makes me think it’s either 1. A poor all season 2. There’s a problem with how Tesla’s AWD system operates forcing you to need winter tyres
I don't like that head rest that you cannot rest on or I know that most Tesla cannot adjust the height. Also what's up with that panoramic roof that cannot cover up if there's middle of the day desert Sun?!
To be fair if you had winter tires, you would’ve been all set. In that depth of snow if you have seasonal tires you’re just asking to get stuck in that kind of situation.
Hella late… ie Video a year old or so… Thicker tire treads, Tesla would pull out of the snow with no problem… Or you can use the self pilot and push the car out…LOL!
Who the heck drives any car in deep snow with all season tires? Slap on that car a set of winters and it will never get stuck. Gosh, why buy such a nice car and not spend an extra couple of grand in a set of proper winter wheels and tires?
I think what happened is you got 'beached'. That is, you got compacted snow beneath the body of the car that kept it stuck. The Model S has a great feature of adjustable shocks that can lift the car. So if you got into a snow bank with the suspension in the low position, and then raised it, it shouldn't be hard to free yourself. But with the other models, unfortunately, you may want to bring a shovel next time so you can dig yourself out. Or maybe ramps or something that you could jam under the tires that would lift the body up.
I owned an Audi with all season performance treads and didn’t have the same slipping experience with Tesla in snow. I’m wondering if it’s a torque/weight related problem as well with Tesla or their AWD system. My area receives snow, but not enough to justify dedicated winter tires.
The heating system has been an issue for the Y. My Y was delivered a month ago and already the heater and defroster do not work. Have to wait 2 wks to get a service appointment. I’m in NJ. 😡
@@danielrice5474 after I was able to get an appointment with the service department, they determined the issue was a defective sensor and replaced it. Haven’t had any problems with the Y since, thankfully! It’s been more than a year and I’ve put nearly 20k miles on it
As someone who lives in the mountains in WV this helped me feel a lot better about Model Y in snow. I currently have a Subaru Outback which is like a tank in snow. It seems like the Model Y should be close to what I can do now.
Very informative thank you very much. I have the same car / tires and drive in snow frequently. For what I plan to be doing I'll have to invest in winter tires. Now I know.
