Sadly, on my 23 MX, I can't adjust the amount of regen.I live in Minnesota, so here's what I can tell you about my '16 Model X in snow:
1. It handles better than any SUV/Crossover I have ever owned (BMW X5, Subaru Tribeca, Infinti QX60, etc etc) - the traction control and braking systems do an excellent job!
2. Depending on how slick it is where you're going, turning down regen may be very helpful to avoid unintended sliding
3. If you're traversing deep and/or thick snow, raise the ride height a bit for superior clearance
4. If you're going through deep and/or thick snow, turn off range mode if you can - having full power to both motors improves handling, IMO
5. You will lose range w/ the cool ambient temps, so plan accordingly - both from cabin heater and from keeping the pack at optimal temps
I run Nokian winters on 19" wheels and general get 420 - 460 wh/Mi w/ preconditioning and average city or highways speeds provided it's above 25F and no headwind. I never turn off Insane mode, and rarely reduce the regen setting.
Last week, we got about 16" in a 24hr period. Heavy stuff. It was fun watching the 4Runners and Suburbans skid and slip coming out of dead stops and around corners, while I blissfully and easily drove around them!
Winters are super clutch, but in Los Angeles, its rare to get consistent conditions to warrant a purchase of winter tires...so snow chains is the next best thing,...I live in Minnesota, so here's what I can tell you about my '16 Model X in snow:

That’s because it auto adjusts regen when it senses slippage on newer cars.Sadly, on my 23 MX, I can't adjust the amount of regen.
You don’t really need to control Regen and I never did. But I always ran proper snow tires. Same goes for Model S with snows. I the think traction control can detect slippage and back off on regen. I could sense rear wheels on 2018 model 3 AWD slip a little if I let up quick (with snows). Never felt it on 2019 Raven Model X or Refesh S.Sadly, on my 23 MX, I can't adjust the amount of regen.
Interesting, what socks do you have? Did you ever have to use them? I have the stock all season 22’s on the new XStock M+S tire rating has worked amazingly well for me. That and socks just to show the officer if the rare chance they want to see chains. Model X is a beast in the snow in Lake Arrowhead and Mammoth trips I've done.
I've used AutoSocks in the past, and will have them for my MX. They are approved for use on Colorado.Interesting, what socks do you have? Did you ever have to use them? I have the stock all season 22’s on the new X
