Well, 50/50 weight distribution, two independent motors and extreme fine modulation of torque surely helps
Very true!
Not at all. Like all modern cars WITH traction control on handles this. No problem at all.
@@Xanthopteryx so 50/50 weight distribution, low center of gravity, 4WD with extremely fine motor control and adjustments 100x per second, does not help? 😆
@@huzygaming7216 Of course AWD helps. Any AWD could pull that off. Literally. Even a car with an earlier Haldex version.
@@huzygaming7216 BTW, the motor control has not much to do with traction control. There you primarly use the brakes.
A trick that worked well for me back in my RWD manual trans days was to start out in 2nd gear. Starting in 1st hear with a higher horsepower car was just too much torque and causes the tires to break loose easier in the snow. Give it a try - it helped me quite a bit.
It was way too slippery for it
I agree with Damon. You need to start in second, that reduces the torque and lets the winter tires bite. The 2 cars that have automatic transmissions went up the hill because their trannys delivered reduced torque. You had trouble with the 2 manual-equipped cars because you started in 1st instead of 2nd. You can easily start moving in 2nd gear when a traffic lights turns green, so it is an appropriate gear to use in the situation in the video. Since 3 of the cars had similar winter tires, the reason for the slip has be something else (remove the common variable), most likely too much torque in 1st.
What if you tried to drive in reverse? Would pull instead of push, like FWD
@@bobashenbrenner5252 this shouldn't be necessary with traction control.
@@lemongavine I think the reason why front wheel drive cars have the reputation for better snow traction is that all the weight of the engine is over the drive wheels. Traction is a function of weight per square inch (and other factors) so more weight on the drive wheels can help. Typical front drive cars may have 65% of the car's weight over the front. In a BMW, they have close to a 50-50 weight distribution front to back. Going in reverse won't do much in a BMW M3. There is no weight difference on the drive wheels whether in drive or reverse. (To add weight to the drive wheels others had suggested to add weight to the trunk, which would help some.)
I've owned two RWD cars, with the first being a gas powered car and the other being a Model 3 Standard Range Plus. After experiencing both in the snow, I can say that the Model 3 performs way better on a good set of winter tires. I would assume it's mostly due to the electric motor and the fact that there is more weight in the back due to the battery pack being equally distributed under the car. That being said, nothing will ever beat AWD. If you ever get your hands on a RWD Tesla and you happen to get some snow like that again, I would be curious to see if it does better!
I agree! It's the weight and AWD
@@TommyLGarage I recently purchased a used 2018 Tesla model 3 performance with all-wheel drive. I also purchased a second set of 20" wheels and had mounted some Michelin pilot sport All season 3 plus tires. This was the first time I had ever driven an electric car in the snow let alone my own electric car so that was very cool when we had a pretty sizeable Squall type storm on a random Monday morning back in February. Anyway I decided to turn the regen up to maximum kind of like how you would downshift or upshift in the snow if you're driving a manual transmission ice car. I found that it worked very well in slowing the car down without having to touch the brake pedal at all. At times, the max regeneration mode seemed to be a bit much and momentarily locked the wheels up but it never caused a slide and skid or anything like that. Just with those decent all season tires and all wheel drive, the Tesla was not only easy to drive in the 6 inches of snow but I actually found it enjoyable and fun. But don't get me wrong, it was nothing like driving my Toyota 4Runner with real / genuine four wheel drive and knobby all - terrain tires. But I would take the Tesla to drive in the snow any day over any of my rear wheel drive BMWs regardless of the tires they had installed on them.
"the tires got a bunch of snow packed in in" thats a good thing, snow sticks better to snow than to tire itself, thats why winter ties have sipes for more snow to get stuck in them for better traction
Yup that’s the trick!
I think the issue was, the tires trying to grip the snow, the friction melted the snow, but the surface temperature froze the snow again, making a thin layer of ice. Let’s not confuse winter tires with snow tires (studded tires). Studded tires would had done the job!! Nonetheless, great video. It can let us know what to expect from RWD in a little nit of snow conditions.
Hmmm interesting point
Studded tires are excellent for this but they'll make short work of your driveway eventually. That's why they're banned on main roads in a lot of countries as they rip it up.
@@Dev1ner It is sad that those tires aren’t allowed in most places. In Alaska is the way to go. And they work really good. It’s sad how states think more about road conditions, that anyways they never fix, vs the safety and well-being of their own residents.
Or just... lack of traction control...
@@Xanthopteryx True, Or that!!
Three things. 1; proper snow tires does the job. 2; rear wheel drive cars usually needs ballast in the trunk (sandbags etc) to get enough grip to the rear wheels. 3; the car was doing fine on your “hill” until you spun them down to tarmac - that heats up the tire surface, which glazes the snow when you try to go again. Keeping your tires low temp is key on fresh snow. :)
I live in a city with A LOT of steep hills in the middle of Norway, we get 4-5 months of Ice and snow every year, and I drive a RWD Tesla without issue. Proper studded winter tires is, a little bit of experience and a patient foot on the accelerator if you encounter icy conditions is all you need
true!
The M3 still wins the beauty contest!
Haha true
I Agree, but the ~My looks better than the M3 (tesla M3) heh ?
@@maxflight777 no
That’s pretty impressive. Not only does it grip on a snowy hill incline but it’s also able to lug an M3 with it, with ease.
And with all seasons no less, not winter tires …
It’s a beast!
Ah that time of the year, i was waiting for this!!
You got your wish!! Hehe
“Hill”? That looks a pretty subtle incline. RWD cars are really awful in the snow, but this exactly the wrong approach if you are slipping and sliding. Spinning the wheels only makes things worse as it digs, melts the snow, and creates a layer of ice under the tires. Much better to put the car in 2nd gear and feather the gas to get the tires turning very slowly to maintain what traction you have.
Agreed. Problem is there was no traction at all.
I share your pain / experience with RWD + winter tires + hills. The car’s great fun when the snow isn’t too thick and if it’s flat. For getting up even small inclinations from a stop, AWD works wonders.
I absolutely agree
Had FWD, with proper Nordic winter tires, for a decade and no issues what so ever, despite having much worse winters than in this video.
I have to hand it to you. I've seen a number of channels started over the person's car collection. This is the first channel I've seen centered around their drive way.
Haha I should rename it to Tommy’s Driveway!
Well timed video! I am in the Seattle area and its snowing heavily today. Nice to know my Model Y will do well in the snow. On the other hand, I will probably take the old Subaru outback today as we have a lot steeper hills than you were on, and a lot of people here do not know how to drive in the snow since we do not get much snow so its more about getting slid into by someone else than actually driving.
Model Y will be amazing in the snow!
I had no issues with a rwd Tesla and snow tires in a snow storm while other awd gasoline cars with all seasons were stuck, the Tesla was able to get through.
It’s a tank !
What are the tire sizes on your f80? Looks like a square setup?
Also, those look like "winter" tires and not really "snow and ice". There's a difference- had to learn that out myself
Yes. 255 square
Your best best for RWD cars with real snow tires in tough / steep situations is and always has been snow tire chains. PERIOD. Studded snow tires work well too, as a 2nd best solution. My dad used to drive us kids around in his '77 Pontiac Grad Prix with huge lugged snow tires and chains when it got really bad. He was an OG snow drifter before drifting even existed as a popular term.
Nicely said
@@TommyLGarage thank you kind sir.
There are technics for situations like this.
Ease off to the biting point with your other foot still on the brake.
Start releasing the clutch just a tiny bit and start releasing the brake a bit, but not completely. This way you have very precise control over the traction of the rear wheels.
You apply gas only after you have gained momentum.
Ive done similar hills in my e90. It takes some practice.
If there's ice on the road you have no options.
@@TommyLGarage the stuff I explained is exactly meant for ICE, but its very very delicate work. A sand bag would help too if so desired.
Tires was the matter. But of course 4WD will always come handy on any slippery road (snow or mud). In the event of such a incident, you must increase “friction” and remove speed of spinning. So, 2nd gear and release air from your tires (lower your pressure) until you are out. And then you pump up again. Having spent time in a ski resort teaches you few tricks.
I’ll try 2nd gear next time
Did you try starting in second gear?
It would not have helped
Try lowering the tire pressure. Not sure what its set to, but less air will make the tire softer and give it more surface area to get traction on the ground.
Good call. Will try next time
I’ve never lived in the snow country. Watching and seeing what’s happening at the end. Typing this while the ad is playing. 👍
I hope you enjoy this clip and thank you so much for visiting!
@@TommyLGarage I was fully expecting each rwd to make it out. Of course, that’s what fair weather people expect! Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
First n foremost Tesla Y is AWD. If ur BMer is a rear drive but I don't know if manual or automatic drive. If manual, no way it will grip an icy road but if automatic, u can put it in Drive 1 or 2 only, without stepping on gas, let engine take over to give enough speed to navigate road conditions. I used the same driving strategies w/ my ML 350 n C300 turbo both AWD on drive 1 or 2 on severe snow n icy roads...back in the days when i had a Town County van, on heavy snow days, I only used Drive 1-3 based on road conditions...
Starting from 2nd gear will not help
Slip and slide with rear wheel drive! Just add at least 400 pounds in the trunk and it will make a hugh difference. Of course front wheel drive has more traction, most of the weight of the engine and transmission are on the front drive tires. With rear wheel drive in the snow there is a greater risk of the rear passing the cars front in a spin out. With front wheel drive you have much more control because you can usually steer the car even though the drive tires may be spinning. How do I know these things? 40 winters driving in Colorado.
Great tips. Thanks !
The compound of the snow tire makes a big difference as well. I’ve had the best luck with Blizzaks with multiple RWD cars in NY / NJ.
I’ll try blizzak next
Are they full winter tyres? I used to drive my bmw in snow no problem when I had full winter tyres and I was RWD only. I went up and down far steeper hills than you are failing at in the video.
Yes they are full winter tires. But I realize that the actual reason is the fact that my driveway is sealed and it’s very slippery.
@@TommyLGarage Ah, yup, that might reduce the grip available. :) I was pleasantly surprised that my BMW was so capable going up some steep hills when 4x4s were skidding all over the place.
Oh yes for sure. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/RbKfSIyNm5U/w-d-xo.html
I don’t see a hitch at the back of the Tesla. How did you attach the tow rope?
There is a hitch if you look closely
5 to 8, 50 pound sand bags will resolve this issue. Place the bags in the trunk over the axle. ~45 degree incline can be accomplished. You need weight with snow tires to tackle an incline.
As you saw I put about 200lbs in the trunk and that went nowhere
@@TommyLGarage 😉300+ lbs keep adding sand bags , or get two adults each weight ~200lbs to sit in the back seat. What is the PSI recommended for your winter tires? If overinflated, no grip. Try warming up your winter tires and retry the experiment? My M3 with Conti winter tires do well after warm up, but for steep inclines, I add sand bags. :) Enjoy!
I've never been stuck in the snow in my M3 F80 which equipped with DCT. Maybe because you switched off traction control? 🤷♂️
I have a RWD BMW and it rarely goes through snow because I live in Texas. But I have taken it on a road trip to Utah and I was driving up and down mountains in December and there was lots of snow. My BMW managed just fine and I didn’t get stuck. Then a few months later I drove my dads AWD SUV up a hill in Colorado and it got stuck and had to get towed out. I wonder why my BMW was able to manage but not my dads SUV.
They're amazing in the snow!
Tesla just put on a update for model y performance, added track mode, which model 3 performance had long time ago. I'v been messing around with it, it seems pretty cool. Can you make a video about it?
Will do!
Interesting. How did this BMW go there with it's rear tire sit on the curb without scratching?
Skills!
Those don't seem to be very good winter tires. I have blizzaks on my f87 and it's a beast in the snow. Plus here in SLC, the snow and ice are in even more dramatic hills being on the Foothills of a mountain. I'm actually very surprised to see the M3 struggling like this
Blizzaks are next for me
How are the Blizzaks when it's dry out? I opted for the Alpin PA4s since I have the 4Runner I can take if it's real bad. Thinking I should have just gone Blizzaks or X-Ice as it's what I've had on all my previous FWD cars.
@@braydensundstrand398 they're as good as winter tires can be on dry pavement. But, I'll always recommend them for the winter, and summer tires for summer. They've probably saved my life more than once. I thoroughly hate all-seasons. I call them no-seasons. They're bad both in winter and summer.
My M2 with Blizzaks is a better snow hound than my Evo was on all seasons.
Yeah it's more expensive, but even sliding into a curb can do more damage than the tires will cost you.
@@MClowe7 these are a winter tire, just not studless. Totally agree with you though, I'll try Blizzaks once I wear these out. I'm in an Austin Yellow F80 in the SLC area.
@@braydensundstrand398 Dude! Nice. Do you get to any of the Cars and Coffee events? I think I'd remember that car if I've seen it. But, I'm in a light blue M2C. I hit the one in Sandy at Sunset Coffee just about every Saturday during the summer
Having weight over your drive wheels makes a huge difference.
That's a good point
are you using the oem tires on the model Y for this?
No. Michelin AS4
Great video! I don't plan to drive my dual motor Tesla in the snow, but its nice to see if I need to it'll handle it well.
It handles so well!
i’ve been a hater of the T on this channel (all in fun, I love all cars), but that was an epic rescue. props to that AWD system managing the torque
It surprised me too!
Eh, what?! Any normal car with proper tires AND traction control on can handle this. And definitely all AWD cars.
@@Xanthopteryx we have a hater here 😉
Tesla has excellent traction control and great awd. While many AWD cars would make this with all-season with no problems, Tesla is one of the best cars in the snow.
@@huzygaming7216 Then you have not been driving a lot on snow.
And I am not att hater. But i know a lot of driving in winter conditions. Tesla is not bad. And not superior either. They are like a modern normal car.
@@Xanthopteryx dude. I live in Northern Sweden. Do you have any idea of the climate here? We get snow in October-November and it melts away in April-May. We get down to -30°C or even colder and several meters of snow.
I think I know a thing or two about snow driving.
Tesla has been excellent in the snow for the last 6 years.
You cannon comapare a summer rwd sports car vs alltrack tesla
True
Getting winter tires in a narrower size will also help
True
What if it was an auto? When stuck if you put it in drive the car will creep some. You may get much less wheel spin at lower rpms
All about tires. Had e60 a while ago (rwd open diff) with Nordic friction tires in Finland (tires were trash tho, cheap from china but still). Couple of times was stuck in like deep snow but never had any issues in normal traffic or so. And even in deep snow i dont think i would not have such problems if the car wasnt that low. Pretty much same height as your m3. Also i think in a video that driveway looks easier than it is. I cant imagine struggling that hard with those cars and tires in there if the video didnt lie a bit. But yeah, there are big difference between show tires and what people think about their performance levels in winter conditions around the world.
True !
Use nordic winter tires and that incline would not be a problem for the m3
Studded ?
Doesent the bmw have traction control?
It does but it would not have helped
You should try Nordic winter tires. I drive mine in deep snow on a daily basis with rwd and I have never been stuck.
Part of the issue is also my slippery driveway
Climbing a slippery incline is different.
The issue here is that the tires are too wide.
@@TommyLGarage Or... lack of traction control in the car.
Look at all that exhaust!
It’s exhausting !
I’d love to see a video of you driving the Cayman on plowed snowy roads. Mine is on Dunlops winters and while the drive is fun, it’s slippery and I bet I wouldn’t be able to get to a destination faster than a FWD car with all seasons.
I’ll do it as soon as we get some snow
Rear wheel drive M3's are known to have no rear traction. They are dangerous in the rain, I know two people that crashed M3's due to the rear sliding out.
They crashed not because of bad cars but because of stupid drivers that don't adapt the speed to the road conditions.
driver skills is #1
I had the same problem with my f30 with 255 rear tires, when I switched them wit 225 I had no issues to stop and go on a hill, try it 🤓
Can’t downsize that much )
Finally someone who understands how narrower tires are better.
Yes you can downsize, just find some 18x7s or 17x6.5s and throw some 205s on there.
@@A_S377 No he can't. I doubt with M3 massive brakes he will be able to fit 17'' wheels
@@silimarina. Then narrow 18s should do the trick.
That's why I got an Audi.
I may be getting a b8.5 rs5
Hes just trying to have a reason too trade his m3 in cause last yr he was preaching to have snow tires on deck. He had no problems going up hills and all. Now that new awd m3 is here and he wants it lol. But to answer the question i would of cleaned the driveway before driving any of them out the garage.
You’ve cracked my secret!! :)
@@TommyLGarage i knew it!! Well keep them vids coming..
Why did you turn traction control off?
To have control of the throttle
@@TommyLGarage I think you defeated the purpose of traction control. You never told us but I guess I should assume they were manual transmissions or were they automatic. If automatic leave tc on!
@@georgecox8142 manual :)
Can you trying loading up the trunk with heavy stuff? I used to carry paving stones in the back of my old Mustang to drive in the winter…
Yes. I even put my father in law in there lol
@@TommyLGarage not quite what I meant 😅
I mean I used pavers to get down low and cantered over the rear axle… your dad in law was kinda rolling around there questioning his daughter’s choices 😅
But I was also on Blizzaks back then?
Love the MY, MINE COMES IN FEB
Congrats!! You’ll love it
Wait, those are Continental DWS aren't they? Those aren't true winter/snow tires. They are all-seasons.
They’re not DWS. They’re snow tires.
@@TommyLGarage which ones are they? What model tire? The only thing I can find in M3 sizes are the DWS.
On m3 you really should be rocking steadily between reverse and forward (either 1st or 2nd)….should be a breeze.
The problem is there’s no grip because my driveway is sealed and it’s very slippery.
I mean if you go in reverse for that uphill, it’ll technically be front wheel drive 😂
Lmao!
i did that once with my Mini Cooper s and made it technically a 911.😉
Was the only way to get to the hotel.
Good thing is, if you start sliding down, you're already facing the right direction
I have a model Y too. It would be fun if we drove in the snow together
Let’s do it!
You could use kitty litter lol
I don’t have cats :(
@@TommyLGarage you can use sand or floor mats haha or catalytic converters, like the one that was stolen from my car Christmas day! Yes, I'm still bitter. Lol
@@ItsBinhRepaired wow ! That’s so insane. Sorry to hear that.
@@TommyLGarage Well, it pushed me to order a Model Y before the Cybertruck, so we'll see, depending how long it delays and how long to get my Cybertruck, that might be a "good" thing.
But the sound of the BMW engine is just awesome
Thanks! I agree
Why did you take the gts style oled’s off?
I went back to oem look
Feel free to borrow my Green car 😂 it’s made for snow ⛄️
Do you know how I take a screenshot of this message and I will hold you to it!
Haha beautiful x drive, I just saw on Bimmerpost the x drive comp 0-60 2.9 seconds!
@@bradg7440 I got a screen record on my phone a G80X doing 0-60 in 2.47s however it was using draggy but seems spot on and forsure modded.
I feel like you should've left traction control slightly on to aid with issues
I would've not used any gas and only used clutch control until the car was moving
It would not have worked. There was zero grip
@@TommyLGarage Of course traction control works. That is why it is there. th-cam.com/video/j-hHWSQhKuc/w-d-xo.html
Looks like you had fun. Go find an old rear engine Porsche or Volkswagen to try. They are great in the snow.
Good idea !
Growing up, there were 2 neighbors with rear-engine Beetles on our hill. They were beasts in the snow. It was most certainly because of the low weight up front versus the rear. That and back when, tires were narrower and didn't ride up on the snow like the wide tires of today. Snow treads and rubber compounds are great, but all else being equal, a wide tire is still a liability in snow. I can't recall now if either of my early 1970s VW neighbors had snows on or not. One neighbor had a fairly steep driveway with the house much lower than the road. Several times I watched Mr. H. back his Beetle up to the road, through 4 or more inches of snow. No other 2WD car back then would manage that, well, except for the other Beetle in the neighborhood :-)
Man I really thought winter tires would perform as well or better on a rwd vehicle than all season tires on 4wd.
Same here!
should I say it kind of useless getting winter tires?
This proves it :)
All-season tires should not be that good, well done Tesla!
Yup!!!
Tesla is just a Tesla, but that M3, gorgeous car!
Thanks !!
You can always spot the difference between drivers who learned to drive in a tractor on a farm and city learned drivers. BMW rwd cars were always the worst in snow.
Actually I did learn how to drive on a tractor
@@TommyLGarage Opps apologies. Was it a JD or a Ford?
It was an Ursus back in Poland
Do this test with BMW i3 (fully electric) it's also RWD.
It won’t work. Tires are too skinny
Interesting and a bit surprising video! You should have included a 5 second clip in the middle of the video of your wife at the window looking down at you face palming and shaking her head. 😉
Lmao! So true
Those cannot be good winter tires. You should be able to go up the hill with no problem using winter tires. Change tires and use smaller narrower wheels and put weight in trunk. Front engine rear drive problem.
The asphalt is slippery under
You still have volvo xv90?
Sold it
Great video! What size did you use for the model y all season tires?
Thanks! 265 35 front and 285 35 rear. I did a video on it check it out.
Proper Nordic winter ties, traction control and this is no problem at all. Even for a FWD.
I have had FWD for a decade in real wintery shitty climate (Sweden). No problem at all.
Besides that, AWD with all season tires is crappy when it comes to stopping, compared to a 2WD with proper winter ties.
BTW, here is a nice example of the difference with and without TC:
th-cam.com/video/j-hHWSQhKuc/w-d-xo.html
I’ll have to get better tires
However Teslas have insanely good traction control, there is no wheel spin on most acceleration tests
Also it’s heavyv
best season for drifting.
Yes!!
Keep the M3 and Cayman side by side always in the garage
No. Need room for the kids to freely open the door in the Tesla
I have no kids. Didn’t think of that.
You need narrower tires for the winter and start in second gear then I am sure at least the Porsche will make it.
I’ll try it next!
I’m so disappointed I did not know fwd is Better than rwd with snow tires! I lost a bet!
Hope it’s not for too much $ :)
"We stalled the car" ...No! You did! 😜
True!
@@TommyLGarage very interesting video to watch though. I myself own a BMW M140i and a Tesla Model 3 Performance. I got the Tesla just before christmas and i didn't drive the BMW at all since that day...great fun these Teslas and very versatile! 🙂.
In some of the more extreme snow/ice conditions a front wheel can struggle. I'm not sure what helped me but my old 96 Lexus LS400 was rea wheel drive and I got stuck on some snow/ice but I was able to break free. It was on an incline. I think I was able to put it in a low gear and go really slow that I wouldn't lose traction. I did turn of the traction control as well. The weight of the car may have had something to do with it to. It was rear wheel drive, a V8 having it's heavy engine up front and all season tires. I'm getting a Model Y in June and that instant torque, consistent power, all wheel drive and towing capacity is awesome.
You’ll love your model Y
rwd with all season tires? you must be joking lmao
@@kfcheungyta Not at all. Never really had a problem with the Lexus LS 400 when I had it. I live in Virginia and we have had some crazy storms here. And black ice is a common thing. Then again, I do know how to drive on this stuff and where others would panic and over steer or not disengage traction control its never been an issue to me.
I now have a front wheel drive car until I get my Tesla but we have had much in rhe way of snow or ice in the past couple of years so I don't know how this car would perform.
Free advertising there , hey Tesla 😀
Haha yup !
What country is father in law from? im from croatia
Russia!
Really thinking about the F82 for my next car but this is really the only drawback that makes me hesitant.
I own an f82 and I live in Ohio/New Jersey and I drive it year round with summer tires and with the DCT and with the TCS in MDM mode it is super easy to drive in the snow.
I put 100 pounds of sand in the trunk of mine, with blizzacks and 18' wheels. no problems in Michigan winters
Get it. You won’t regret it
You have almost 0 tread depth with those massive wheels. I have ran many rwd cars with Michelin x3 never had issues
Tread is good.
@@TommyLGarage honestly super confused why you struggled then what is the wheel size. I had 19’s on my g35 it drove like a tank
My driveway is slippery
Such a pretty car. But might be happier with M3P
I need to own at least one gasoline car
Put a nice good snow tires on m3 , you good to go 👍
True
I think you'd achieve better results with traction control
Nope :(
You did not try to go reverse. That may work.
I doubt it would help
@@TommyLGarage Sorry, my fault. It is a good trick for front wheel driven cars.
Were you Bernard in The Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen?
Yes that’s me.
I love your cars
Thanks!!
Tesla model y performance is a millennium falcon beast.
Lol yes!
Who the hell drives an F80 M3 in the snow without snow chains?
I do!
@@TommyLGarage I love it. Good for you.
Wonder if you could have reversed the BMW/Porsche up the hill?
Would effectively make them FWD plus the gearing would be different. ;)
Nope because the weight would have been in the back the.
@@TommyLGarage I hate to say "I told you so" but I just saw your latest video aaaaand.... I told you so! :D Reverse FTW.
Try reverse up the hill. 🤔
Lol no way.
If the Tesla had pulled the BMW up the driveway with the BMW in neutral, then I would have been impressed! 😉
The bmw WAS in neutral. My father in law just steered. You can see it in the video there was no wheel spin.
Surprise to me even the snow tire would get stuck like this. Good to know and I’m not goi g to drive in the snow
You can drive just be aware
I would not have this issue with my RWD E60 with blizzaks. Tried and tested even in Vermont in the deepest of snow
Must be a wonder car!
