I had mine out in the snow here in Portland about 10 days ago. I didn't have anything but the tires that came on it and it handled better than any car I've ever driven in the snow. My SO is a die hard Subaru fan and she was driving the Tesla because it cruised right on through icy patches where the Subaru would be all over the road. The first day after the storm the only vehicles on the road were trucks (4X4s), Subarus and Teslas.
