Hey guys, my post was stating my experience and concerns with Tesla model Y. I used to own BMW, Lexus, before my Y. I was able to relate to the road, enjoy the drive and drive safely in terrible conditions [severe down pour/snow].
The car actually drove well the first winter in 2020. Something changed in early 2021. On reading this forum, it appears Tesla tweaked some settings to maximize mileage, perhaps that is the reason for this unsafe, disconnected drive. Apparently there used to be a mode to turn off regen in winter, but this option was also removed by Tesla? Since early 2021, was when the problem started. Actually, we are having better and better winter conditions [less snowy days and less snow accumulation] for the past 3 years.
I have seen several posts in this forum where people seem to have the opinion that if someone posts a negative driving experience, then the driver must be a novice, doesn't know how to drive, doesn't understand how regen works etc. This is not a piss off contest. This is not a; I am a better driver and you do not know how to drive forum.
We are posting here so we can help each other and understand good/bad things about the car, so we can all make informed decisions about this car. Thank you for those with informative and positive comments. And also, thanks for the know-it-all comments, will try to glean what you are trying to convey in your post.
