Anybody else is having this problem? Doesn't happen on my ICE but happened twice to my MYP already. I have 20" pilot sport all season 4 tires that only had like 6k miles on them. Is there a way to prevent this?

I wish I can do that, I also need to charge my car while at home. It sucks that I have to remove the snow on my driveway for a 70K car but doesn't need to for a Honda Civic.Yes, don't park on snow covered driveways.
Likely bacause MYP is heavier than yout ICE, and front wheels aren't locked on parked MYP - so chock it.Anybody else is having this problem?

No; there is only one parking brake function. The parking brake function locks both rear wheels when applied. The parking brake is automatically applied when you press the button on the end of the right side stalk beside on the steering wheel while standing still or when you open the driver's door (not recommended but it works to enter Park.) If you press and hold the stalk button after the Tesla Model Y is in Park this reapplies the parking brake.What if you press and hold the park button for 3-4 seconds. Isn’t there a secondary brake applied?

Weight distribution does factor in somewhat though…This is not an ICE vs EV thing or anything special about a Tesla. It’s simple physics. Increase surface friction by removing snow or changing tires. That’s the only solution.
Sure, as does weight in a general sense. A car that weighs twice as much as a Civic with relatively wide tires is essentially a toboggan loaded with lithium bricks. Doesn’t take much to overcome that inertia.Weight distribution does factor in somewhat though…
It has nothing to do with the car. It's tires. You should buy some snow tires, and your problem will vanish.I wish I can do that, I also need to charge my car while at home. It sucks that I have to remove the snow on my driveway for a 70K car but doesn't need to for a Honda Civic.
Every single one of these things has a significant effect. This is 10th grade physics. Mass, slope, coefficient of friction.Not the tires, not the weight, not the weight distribution.
Lots of ICE cars have only two locked wheels, and TBH the effect of 2 vs 4 with a very heavy car on wide non-winter tires is fairly inconsequential.As some people here have written — no way to lock the front wheels of a parked Tesla. So it has 2 locked wheels vs. ICE cars that have 4 locked wheels. That’s a big difference.
Only solution? Pretty dogmatic for being wrong. HaThis is not an ICE vs EV thing or anything special about a Tesla. It’s simple physics. Increase surface friction by removing snow or changing tires. That’s the only solution.
I bet those ICE cars were slipping on icy slopes too…Lots of ICE cars have only two locked wheels, and TBH the effect of 2 vs 4 with a very heavy car on wide non-winter tires is fairly inconsequential.
