You’re right, I have specific driving conditions that most won’t encounter. It wouldn’t make sense for Tesla to design their cars based on a few cars here and there. It does the job and is quite good over all in winter driving. But I just don’t believe anyone is being honest if they say it’s as...

No, not what is happening. Again, this is trying to get up a steep windy driveway in slush or wet snow, full throttle. Basically a hill challenge. Not about coasting or regenerative braking. Off canter banked turns. Starting from stopped. Etc.

Again, I’ll reiterate. My two cars right now are an outback circa 2018 with hakapeliitta 9 studded tires, and a model y with the same tires. I live in the mountains of BC, on a logging road steep and windy driveway which has not been snow or ice free since December. There continues to be a not...

All that is interesting and good, but the simple fact remains that it is not as sure footed as a Subaru and more prone to temporary traction loss which opens up the possibility of catastrophic accidents on ice or highways. This is a factor to me as I consider my children’s safety a priority.

I have a really high pitched sound in similar conditions but also there but more quiet in warmer conditions. It is more noticeable when in off road mode because front motor activated more. I think older people might not hear it as it’s pretty high frequency but not sure. Mine is very faint...

I’ve been playing around a lot with off road mode. It’s drives entirely different. It feels like it’s not near as rwd biased. Does anyone have the app that bjorn uses on YouTube to see if off road puts the car into AWD? The only thing I’m uneasy about is that it also turns traction control off...

I wish someone would tap into the torque details like those bjorn videos with off road on and off. I wonder what it does to the rwd bias. I also wonder about safety at highway speeds with traction control disabled, which happens when you go into off road mode.

Same I actually went into the app and clicked on "close" window button because it was saying one door's window was ajar... interesting

We’re beating a dead horse here. We should have all driving modes available to suit our preferences. To me, fun and efficiency would be easy to sacrifice to ensure my car doesn’t slide out of control maiming or killing my children. For others, it’s fun to slide around the road. We should just be...

To be clear I wasn’t talking about fishtailing because of regenerative braking around a corner. Just fishtailing often and in any situations, throttle, no throttle, cruising, etc etc. I agree we all should be pestering them for this. I wish I had Twitter I would tweet Elon about it.

It doesn’t work as well as manual Subaru, cmon. The Subaru is not a rwd vehicle. The Tesla is rwd until throttle applied or slipping already. The Subaru as you pointed out especially manual is basically 50/50 at all times. As others have pointed out, for everyday driving in snow on busy...

Boy I wish they would do this!

Another question to all, do you think the off road assist function changes the torque differential to equalize it more? I notice the sensitivity to pedal changes and the traction control gets turned off but I do wonder if it also initiates power to front more than standard settings...

Thought someone answered that already above... 2018 outback 18 in rims could Google if interested... don’t have car with me at current location Edit: 225-60-18

I think my main point is being confused a bit. We have two cars right now and are driving both. The Subaru and model y have same tires but I guess different widths. The Subaru is having no slipping and no problem getting to our house. The model y is all over the driveway and requiring me to...
