Funny, I thought Model S was supposed to be the "Best car in the world that just happens to be electric." Well, the best car in the world should not need to stay garaged at home any time it snows, should it? I don't think expecting the car to be usable in all but the most extreme conditions is shoehorning it into something it's not. Just sayin'. :wink:
The key term is car. It's not the best truck/suv/snowplow. Cars have limitations and one of those limitations is ground clearance. It is no different than the wildly popular cross-over segment (Mazda CX-5, Nissan Rouge, Audi Q5) which are hopelessly compromised from a driving perspective. They attempt to do everything which means they do nothing very well. The model S is one of the best cars in the world and hands down the best electric car....but it is still a car
