*edit* maybe it's just me, but I expected more. I guess it handled well, but where's the donuts!?!

Look carefully at the beginning of the video, it says : temp ranging from -10F to 15F.

That's good, but I have to say I've had my Roadster out in colder weather...

The video from Rimac hits the mark. TM could have given us some basic info and I think its reasonable.

I guess the video answers some of the critics about how well the Model S well perform in cold climates.

Doesn't answer my criticisms -- looks like they only tested the 21" wheels, not the 19" wheels. Fail.

 

[Zextraterrestrial]

both wheels are in the snow test video. 19 & 21's . Fail is in all of the video cuts!

The RIMAC drift car looks like fun. I like the regen lever to break the traction+pretty nifty interface.

There must be something I like about this video, I watch it every other day or so....

You keep thinking you'll get to see the car actually complete a maneuver.

Norbert,

If you ever come to Montreal in winter with your S, I'll show you some large parking lots where you can do that stuff yourself!

Drifting on ice is a total blast, I often fool around on my street before it gets plowed, if I get called to work in the wee hours...

If it's the cloak & dagger thing you like, can't help you though...

;-)

The Boulder, CO Tesla store has sponsored ice-driving in the past. Pics posted at Tesla's fb page, "Roadster Ice Autocross".

On February 10th, the Tesla Gallery in Boulder, CO organized an ice autocross for Roadster owners at Georgetown Lake. The lake, located about 60 miles from Boulder, freezes over each winter. Colorado owners got to know each other and had an unforgettable day with their Roadsters before Spring.

Sounds fun. I fit were around the corner... I guess in CA it would fall under the "no donuts" category.

I guess its the combination.
