I don't have my P85D yet, and have never driven a model S, or any car with regenerative braking for that matter, so please bear that in mind as I make this comment. But wouldn't the model S equivalent to lifting your foot off the gas pedal, but not yet braking in an ICE vehicle when sliding on actual ice not be letting off the GO pedal, but rather finding the "neutral" point of the GO pedal, where the Model S is essentially not adding power and also not braking? Wouldn't this approximate what can be done in an ICE vehicle by just releasing the gas pedal but not braking?
Yes, that's exactly what would happen. You just need to break a lifetime habit of lifting fully off the accelerator when presented with a dicey situation which can be challenging.
