It’s really all about the tires. A set of winter tires will make the difference.
These are all seasons.
@@TommyLGarage All seasons not good in the snow, all weather or snow makes big difference.
@@skk6648 for an AWD car all seasons will do just fine.
@@TommyLGarage Clearly not since you were sliding all over the place.
@@galactictomato1434😂😂😂
Nice work! I appreciate the different camera angles so we can see what’s going on on the outside
Thanks for watching!
Hey Tommy, "Slip Start" is only used when you deliberately want the wheels to spin - so it's definitely not for when you get stuck in the snow :) Nice video btw
Thanks for the info
I don't know, in some situations it can be usefull, my Brother in his Model 3 Awd got stuck in snow because the car sat on a little hill on the right side of the underbody and was completely stuck. When he activated slip start, the car spun all 4 wheels and turned slowly on that hill so the car found new grip and than it could move itself away from that hill. But i think you're right, as seen in this great Test, Offroad Mode (which Model 3 don't has) seems to be the best in Snow.
Spinning the wheels can sometimes be a good way to get unstuck, all it does is turn the traction control off, which lets you rock the car back and forth
Fitting the correct tyres is the way to go.
I lived in Alberta Canada for 4 years and had a old rwd bmw 5 series while I was there and I never had a issue driving in snow.
Studded ?
The girl saying daddy on 4:50 has spooked me so much, i was alone at my home and watching this late at night xD
It was my son. But close
Very good reference for my Model Y come with M+S all season tire and I'm here Vancouver starting snow, Thank you so much ;-)
You got it. You’ll love it!
off road mode should have a visual on parameters (wheel spin and other info) of each wheel (something like it is in the track mode for M3 Performance variant).
Would have been a nice touch. This one didn’t have it
We got dumped on today! ❄❄🌨 Great Video!
We need more snow!
I have a 2021 Model Y with 20 inch tires … if I had to drive in the snow frequently I would install some cross climate 2 tires because I got them on my wife’s 2017 CRV and they work great !
These are actually great for the snow
I was in lake Tahoe in a snow storm and my model y did amazing. Of course I had all season tires and it handled great while all my friends car had issues.
Happy to hear. These cars are tanks in the snow
@@TommyLGarage @Tommy L Garage I have a 2014 honda cr-v LX FWD/front wheel drive lol i could of done this with ease with no traction control, check this out also bro the honda k24 modified can dust a fucking tesla model s plaid plus you can never modify the tesla model s plaid to be ''faster'' not the user themselves atleast and a hell of alot cheaper to replace than a 20k battery pack lol
@@billybobbob3003 you’d never catch me in a “modified” Honda
@@TommyLGarage not even this one? smoking the fuck out of tesla model s plaid?
czcams.com/video/xdFx0Mvc3B4/video.html
@@billybobbob3003 it’s fast for sure.
Great video ❤
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for the love.
Awesome video thanks for sharing! Can you show stopping and handling downhill in snow? I had a bad experience last year in my MYLR with stock tires was unable to stop downhill in snow
So stopping downhill is a bit tricky given the weight of the car. So you still have to be very careful.
@kellymarie9612 That's your problem, you were on stock tyres which are Summer tyres. You need to fit your Tesla with good All-Season tyres like the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Or even Winter tyres if you live in an area that gets high amounts of snow fall. Summer tyres have a hard compound which is good for high temperatures (12+ Celsius), but performance and grip is bad when temperatures plummet. Winter tyres have a soft compound which gives better traction in snow and icy conditions, but these are bad to use in high temperature conditions as grip will be poor compared to Summer Tyres. All-season tyres are somewhere in the middle. If you live in areas like Northern Scandanavia or parts of Canada that gets extreme levels of snowfall then you need studded tyres.
Very informative! Thanks. BTW, was your vehicle awd/4wd?
Thanks. And yes AWD
I appreciate your videos that are very informative. You jumped around quite a bit there what are the best settings for the snow just normal driving? Getting ready to head into the mountains with my Y pro and there could be snow. I'm just wondering what the best settings will be? I have all season tires and for normal driving? Thx Tim
Looks like you are having fun..
Seems like creep mode is the only thing you need to enable.
@@TommyLGarage would that be along with Adjusting away from regenerative breaking? Or does that 1 adjustment take care of all that?
@@remingtonsypro3160 that takes care of it
@@TommyLGarage Thank Tommy!! I will be checking that out soon. In the Mountains of Boone NC.
Such a good looking car.
I agree too!
That off road assist feature is definitely kool
Agreed!
Slip start is for rocking the car out of a snow or ice well. Or for burnout before the 1/4 mile pull lol
Good to know!! Thank you
This is the video I been looking for!
Nice!
@@TommyLGarage I’m planning to take a trip to Mount Charleston in Las Vegas hoping that it snows so I can test my MYP can’t wait!
I spent the past week drifting in my driveway in track mode cause im still on summer tires in my M3P. Seemed to do perfectly fine though even with tire setup.. I still didnt want to get on any main roads and risk it. It only snows here once a week out of the whole year so im not buying winter tires just for that. My next set might be all season though.
All seasons are the way to go
At least this part of jersey gets barely snows 🌨. Have fun
We need more!
@@TommyLGarage hahah,
Hi, greetings from The Netherlands! I really enjoyed your video, but you just missed the mark on the slip start function. This function explicitly allows wheel spin to free your car from deep snow (instead electronic stability control would intervene and keep the wheel from spinning, thus effectively you would be stuck in the snow). So, there's that. ;-)
Thanks for clarifying!
Just picked up my model Y on Friday and love it. I think they’ll just come up with a newer more modern design soon. Incremental upgrades and releases is the name of the game. Staying in the headlines, name of the game as well
Congrats! You’ll love it
Hey Tommy, did you receive Xmas software update? Supposedly its going to add track mode on MY! Would be dope to make it fully RWD in the snow.
Not need. This thing needs it!
Great video. I was confused with slip start and off road assist. Note i think i have a general idea
Happy this helped!
Well driving with those tires is a suicide mission.
How so? I made it out just fine.
Slip start is NOT for driving in the snow... It is purely for getting unstuck. After you get unstuck you take it off slip start. It states this all in the manual and turns OFF traction control essentially.
Will try it next
Do a video on the new track mode from the christmas update in the snow!
Haven’t received it yet
🚀🚀🚀
To the moon!
“My various cars”… LOLLLLL
What do you mean?
That blue looks so dark in the snow. What percent tints do you have
I went with 35 on the side
How has your new battery working out?
Zero issues! Will have a year update soon.
Slip start allows your wheels to spin… it’s not for slippery conditions.
I just got my 2023 Model Y LR, and it handles much the same as my 2022 Model 3 LR (without snow tires) . . . NOT great! My first EV was a 2015 BMW i3 REX, which is a rear-wheel drive, and with snow tires on the i3, that car was AWESOME in the snow. And we live at the top of a long sloping hill. I thought having all-wheel drive on the Teslas would negate the need for snow tires, but next year I’m DEFINITELY putting Blizzaks on my Model Y.
I think blizzaks are an overkill honestly
How much does the battery last at this temperatures?
Around 200 miles
Are you still selling those bmw mud flaps? I’m thinking about buying a set for my f10
Yes. Email me at got6speed @ gmail . com
In sweden we use studded tires
Those are amazing !
I love when you do these tests, but more importantly......... whats that electric tractor your kid has????? My boy would FLIP if I got him one of those
Just added link to the video description. It’s so amazing. I have both
slip start is deep snow when you need nothing but wheel speed
Which option do you recommend ?
@@TommyLGarage slip start is best when you want wheel spin maybe you’re launching on gravel or driving in sand. Seems like off-road had the best results but normal mode seemed definitely good to the point where it’s fine for 90% of snow driving
Somehow came across this video. I also have a 2022 Tesla Y and 991. Curious how my Model Y does in the snow. Will not be driving the 991 in the snow/ice.
991 is great in the snow I can confirm!
Try track mode for fun. Model Y performance got track mode on holiday update.
Will do! Just waiting on some more snow.
@@TommyLGarage Rally crossing on snow! Its gonna be fun
What happened to the F80?
Sold it
All season tires do not work well in icy conditions no matter what car you have. While traction is important, stopping distance is much more important. They are a compromise at best for both summer and winter driving. Given this, I have Michelin X Ice tires with 19 in wheels on my MYP. I live in New England and recommend using snow tires. I know it’s a pain to have to switch back and forth but they literally can save your life. Michelin and a few other manufactures have videos showing stopping distances comparing snow, all season and summer tires. Check it out. It’s not even close. Safety first particularly since Tesla’s already have 5 star safety ratings.
They’re good 99% of the time
@@TommyLGarage 99% based on what data? Maybe in certain states but certainly not the where I am or for folks in CO, Buffalo or Northern NE never mind Canada.
driving 20 on a bit of snow is absurd. I believe it is the tires. That amount of snow should allow at least 50 with good winter tires. Good to show how the car does but wow the difference btw winter and all season is huge.
Perhaps !
You should get yourself another set of rims with winter tires on it.
The problem is - you braking will be so horrible slippery as well, you can slide crush on something (or on someone!) easily.
I have all seasons, it's decent on snow, but not on ice. So with the first Ice i'm changing it for winter tires. They are better on snow and way better on Ice.
Great Tesla by the way! )
Great point. Might consider it for next year
do you have summer tires ? in the snow, that looks not a normal behaviour... (4 seasons tires as well...)
Those are all season tires
@@TommyLGarage Ah ok 4 seasons tires are terrible. I do not know good one...
With those inclines and amount of snow, winter tires are required.
Why? I demonstrated that it’s ok
Great demo but most people will not drive the way you are driving. No one will stop at the bottom on a hill and then try to drive it. I have lived in the mountains with Snow/Ice so I know from experience. Nevertheless, it's good to know if some crazy driver decided to do what you have shown. Though I have no idea why they would do it. makes no sense in the real world. Unless you are a delivery driver making a lot of stops but then they don't drive Tesla lol !
Nice Video, Shows Model X capabilities. I would buy it if I had the $$$
Imagine driving in a snow storm. Stopping at a red light on an uphill street. Baaam! :)
"It could be the tires". All-season tires should be illegal mate 😂.
Nice video though. I'm driving Teslas since 2016 and I live in Switzerland. Model S rear wheel drive. Then Model 3 AWD and now Model Y AWD.
I took the Model Y on snow for the first time yesterday: I mount "Nokian 255/45 R19 104V Nokian WR Snowproof P XL M+S" and they're... "OK". I do live up at 1000 m above sea level, private road that doesn't often get cleared from snow and extremely steep hill in the last 50m.
Now... On the Model 3 I had "MICHELIN 235/45 R18 98V Pilot Alpin 5 XL M+S FSL" and THEY ARE THE ONES.
Seriously, there are no other tires out there like them. You could try as hard as you wanted to lose control on snow and ice, no chance.
On the Model S I had Pirelli Sottozero........... they should be illegal, like, attempted murder kind of illegal.
I really hope this comment helps people choosing WINTER tires properly. That's the one thing I'm not saving money on, never ever.
All season tires are amazing!
Pilot Alpin series are amazing. I use them on a rear wheel drive car and the grip is so predictable.
Why do you guys all think ‘creep’ turns off regen? It has nothing to do with regen except at REALLY low speeds where it makes the car roll forward like a regular gas car. So unless you think the regen at 2mph is going to make you lock your tires then its not doing anything.
It does. There is less regen
Slip start is for deep snow and mud.
It works well
So thanks for the video and the ride along. If I may suggest to you when shooting these types of videos, to keep your eyes on the road, and get your camera fixed to the car, that way you keep your hands and your eyes on the road, and no need to look at the camera, as if you’re talking to someone, and you want to make eye contact, as this is not the time to do that.
So it’s eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel at all times, that’s my advice, because you don’t want to have a crash occur, and your insurance company finds out that you have been doing these videos, and something like that happens, because they will absolutely walk away from you. Cheers 🥂
Great advice. Thank you for taking the time.
All season tires are the stupidest thing. Get some winter tires and it won't be a probleme
No need. Snow doesn’t typically stay on the road.
I had a P90D with Hakkapeliita R2- it was the best Awd experience I’ve had and I’d think you’d enjoy the car even more in the winter. It really highlights the advanced powertrain dynamics with how it fast it responds and corrects.
@@TommyLGarage you don't say that the one snowy day you need to have the kids in the car and there is snow everywhere and the car keeps slippin. i got a mod Y LR with wintertyres (need that because i'm in Norway) And the car is truly a beast in harsh Norwegian winter.
Need winter tires. Give them a try one season, the difference is dramatic.
These work well too
@@TommyLGarage have you ever tried performance winter tires? Might be a good comparison video, i still think you will be very surprised.
@@JBenitez911 I need a sponsor :)
Meanwhile the plough/gritter is sitting at the bottom of the hill waiting for you to stop playing.
Good eye!
Four cars but no winter tires?
Yup!
The only thing of importance in these conditions are your tires. This kind of weather requires a proper set of winter tires, studless or with studs - no discussion. All seasons are not suited for areas which expect icy or snowy conditions. I live above the arctic circle in Norway and drive half the year in similar conditions, and I would never - never - dear to drive with all seasons during the winter. It's outright dangerous, and your tires are even worn out!
Please get proper tires for your area, both for your own and others safety. Drive safe.
Great point
3PMSF all season are excellent on snow/ice (I live on mountains) cause they are practically "winter tyres for all the year". So... what you say is not valid for every all season tyres, there are very different kind. And, traction type is also a very important factor. AWD has much more traction, obviously.
All season sucks. Buy proper winter tyres. A heavy car doesnt make it better up a icy slope!
But I just demonstrated that they are pretty good ….
@@TommyLGarage They are better rhan summertyres but not compared to real snowtyres.
Why won’t you guys put snow chains on your tires? They sell them on Teslarati, and EV annex.
I can run all seasons all year
Very real world test of backing up over your own tracks over and over
We’ve all done it!
put it in track mode
Didn’t have it back then.
Tommy, no more videos ? I hope everything's ok. Pozdro
Hey! Just been really busy with work. Will put out videos soon just don’t want to force it
@@TommyLGarage super duper. Was just checking ...
Totally ignoring his baby in the back, Way to go Daddy,
Lol
I don't think you are supposed to use Slip Start.
How come?
Sorry but... that's not impressive. On that very few snow control should be 100% and slipping practically absent. The braking is quite worrying... I can't imagine what would happen on an icy descent, especially considering the poor engine braking of that kind of transmission.
Drivery underneath is slippery that also contributes to
Camera person (will you hurry the eff up please)
Haha
This is a weird experiment, most people that own there home shovel and salt there walkway and driveway. Your car mostly will slip and slide on asphalt that’s not prepped before it snows
My fault being from the north east we pay attention to the weather and if it’s about to snow we salt everything so we don’t have to shovel as much.
You’re right
How far north do you live? I’m in toronto and we definitely dont pre salt every road.
@@PKDN215 NYC, the BRONX
All season tyres… 🙄
Work fine!
You need to drive an Audi with Quattro. You would never call this impressive.
How can it get better ?
“Welcome Ladies and Gentleman”? What about the rest of the 23891 genders?
Hahah touché.
I was recently trained at work to say “welcome everyone”
OUF. I don't think he understand things...
Definitely not.
Don’t buy Tesla
Too late. Already bought it and love it
You could spend $100k on a Tesla or just learn to drive.
Rather spend $100k
