Yesterday there was a huge snow blizzard in my area in Toronto and I decide to test drive my new 2020 SR+ rwd model 3 to its limit in the middle of snow blizzard. The car is equipped with brand new nokian R3 winter tires as recommended by many posters here.
When I took a left intersection turn, there was about 1 foot of snow in my way.I then got stuck in snow.
I tried to floor down the power and traction control signal kept showing up on the console. My car fish tailed multiple times but would not move forward.
I then enabled slip start and kept flooring down the power. The car kept fish tailing and could not move forward.
I spend a good 15 min flooring down the power pedeal with slip start enabled and without slip start. Finally the car was able to move forward with slip start enabled after 15 min of trying.
While this happened, I saw couple model 3 rwd driving pass by me easily.
So I started to wonder if there is actually a glitch with my car traction control and slip start software for the first 15 min? What do you guys would be the cause of this event?
Any comments and inputs? Thank you
