Slip start in reverse

[crsn00]

Has anyone tested slip start in reverse?

I got my RWD model 3 a little bit stuck in deep snow yesterday and when trying to rock the car out it seemed like it was not allowing wheel slip in reverse with slip start on.

I'd get myself almost backed out out of the hole I was in, the wheels would slip just a little, and the car would cut power. Once I was able to get myself turned enough to go forward it was no trouble to get moving.

I did this once recently to get out of a parking at the airport after being boxed in. I believe slip start works both directions. However as soon as you turn the steering wheel the car reduces power a lot to prevent spinning around.

Thanks for confirming, I don't think I was turning when reversing so I didn't think stability control would be interfering but it's so aggressive I never know when it'll kick in. Maybe it didn't like the back end moving slightly sideways on the sloped snow...
