How Does a RWD Tesla Handle in the Snow Without Snow Tires? 

When you have to do a emergency brake, thats when shit hits the fan.

This is why everyone makes fun of Americans, because of dumbest decisions like these. Unless it doesn't hit freezing temperatures during winter or won't be driving during snowy/freezing times, get the dang winter tires.

What is all wheel tire?

yeap, basically all season tires are just summer tires with marketing. Then they think its the cars fault that there is no traction. :D Fouks, just get proper winter tires like nokia hakkapeliitta or similar. Absolutely no problems even much worse conditions.

Yeah, ppl get crazy on 4 wheel drive with all seasons forgetting they do brake same bad as RWD/FWD.

Because you shouldn't be even thinking of using all seasons when it's winter. It's like cutting your steak with a fork, you can do it, but is it dumb...

@@carssucksince1800s Said the person that doesn't spend very much time in the snow and ice? They work fine, they are all season, Not summer rubber, thats what chains are for, people that don't have winter specific tires carry chains when required. The underlying reason is to understand how well the traction control system operates under VERY Low grip conditions. Very few people are testing that and sharing that information. Im curious as a person that spends a Lot of time in the snow In mountain passes. Almost any AWD vehicle with winter tires is sufficient in the snow, limiting factor is usually ground clearance. Understanding how well the traction control works, like slipping backwards down a hill, was very interesting to see how it handled that. And especially stop starts on a slick hill.

@@101rotarypower What kind of self contradicting reply was that? First you say all season is fine, and then you finish with AWD with winter tires is sufficient. But yes, chains should be carried when it is winter. I do winter sports, so I have seen with my own eyes how dumb situations can turn out when vehicles have no winter tires. 10 to 15 car pile up was in front and behind me at a small crossing by the ski resort, multitude of people decided to attempt to get through just because they have an AWD vehicle only to end up smashing into multiple cars because they had hockey pucks for tires and all of that was at only up to 10 mph.

My situation also.

its not illegal in europe, you are just fucked if something goes wrong.

​@@GRyder261if the police pull you over and you're not on winter tires it's actually a fine

All season tires ARE ALL SEASON Tires - of cource you could use these in winter (snowflke sign) . But M+S tires will be forbidden in 2024

@jesajabook2177 the problem is most "all season tires" being sold are realistically 3-season.

Hey! Probably soon. I have some road trips planned this summer so I am not going to replace it until after the summer. No, these are basic all seasons. I plan to get some cross climate 2s on it soon though!

Not sure if you have ever driven a Tesla in the snow, but the car is very good at detecting when the rear wheels are sliding due to max regen and immediately drops the regen to a very low threshold.
