    For a canadian, this has been achievable for years with any kind of cars, you just actually need good tires. ;) having actualy winter tires would go a long way though.
    the real good point where Tesla actually differentiate itself is in the way it "brakes" with regenerative breaking using the 4WD to balance the slippyness. So going down is where the real video would become interesting (but it's probably a good idea not to get crazy without actual winter tires.

    I think this works because of: good tires + lots of weight + instantaneous traction control you get with an EV. I normal car can't adjust the torque to each wheel hundreds of times per second.

    This happened to me a few days ago. I was pulling our Tesla up our inclined driveway (fairly steep as kids love sledding on it)... I didn't think anything of it, as it was raining. Turns out it was actually freezing rain, becuase I stepped out of the car in the garage, and went to open the trunk. I stepped onto the driveway, and slid all the way down the driveway... The whole time I was thinking, how the hell did I make it up the driveway.. Like another poster said, I'm pretty sure because the ice wasn't flat, it was very rough. But I needed to put my X-grippers on my shoes to make it up my driveway on foot.

      In this video it looked like the temp was around freezing judging by your tyres looking wet so definitely very slippery.
      If it was significantly colder your tires would make better contact with the over because there would be no water between.

    Wow! That's amazing! Good info for Canadians.
    Yes, winter tires are a huge factor; but traction control, or lack of it, is a huge factor too.
    I remember in Toronto I was driving on a multi-lane highway exchange that had a slight tilt to it, called banking; but it was totally iced, and the banking was a death sentence to traffic. All but one of the 4 or 5 lanes were blocked by cars that could not proceed forward. I was first in the only open lane, but a big sports car ahead and on the lane to my right was drifting into my lane. The driver was trying one miniscule attempt at a time to engage forward gear, and with each attempt the back of the car simply moved a few more inches to the left. After the fourth attempt, failed and its motion stopped, I hit the gas and flew forward past the poor fella. I was driving a Chrysler K-car, with front drive, which I bought precisely for that reason.
    Of course, even better than having traction where the weight of the engine is, is having distributed weight and all-wheel traction.
    And even better than that is when traction control is intelligent.

    The traction of the car is amazing, its able to find grip in difficult situations. But, beside this, you have four contact points, not like you with two feet on the ground, the ice is not perfect, like on a skating park, you can see the asphalt imperfections trough the ice, there are points where most of 4x4 will find grip, Tesla does a very good job in this situation. I live on a hill, most of the winters when snow melts it freeze in the night. With my Subaru Forester with winter tires, I never had any problems. Even more, a few times I went up the hill while people had troubles walking up the hill. One time I went up just like normal, did not feel a thing, was all ice under my tires, I went to school with the kids, I've got back home in a few minutes, and I could not stop the car going down, only 1 meter from an electricity plot, I used some salt in the front of my gate. It was so slippery that I could not stand on my feet when I walked down the car. So, cars with good transmissions and good tires can do that. But, again, Tesla is doing a very good job, and the two motors helps a lot in this case.

    since the Tesla was in the garage, the 4 season tires were not at outside temperature and it most likely help too, the rubber would have been harder if stayed outside over night and would have give you way less grip
    I`m living in a place where even winter tire become hard, was -35 celcius last night and it`s normal for us, it`s part of the reason winter tires are mandatory in some canadian provinces
    Don`t get me wrong, the car is impressive and I'm going Tesla eventually, but people need to understand that in winter, the tires are the most important aspect of your traction and it is why there's so many incident in united state when you just have a little amount of winter condition. Peoples are not prepared and run on 4 seasons while keeping the same pace as in summer condition...

    You are correct about the amazing electronic stability control inherent in an electric vehicle, particularly a Tesla.....to a point. There's nothing magical about Tesla's traction. The tires have only a finite amount of traction, and once the break-away friction is exceeded, the Tesla will behave in the same manner as any other car: it will be an accelerating sleigh ride. As it is, I suspect you could have easily pushed the Tesla downhill using two fingers on that driveway.
    In other words: be very careful with your beautiful vehicle, lest it become a $60K sled, with unpredictable end results.

    Winter tires should be always better in winter than all season. And smaller rims in case yopu hit the curb. A lot of ice takes lot of salt to melt but if you mix salt with sand that makes your grip much better. Nice vid.

    It’s also the amount of pressure exerted on the contact patch. 4200lbs of model Y on not a very large contact patch which means very high pressure and can grip better on the ice. In comparison to your body weight (150-200lbs) over a fairly large contact patch (your two feet)

      @audunskilbrei8279 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is not correct. At least not in this case with studdless tires. If the car had studded tires then the weight would help push the studs into the ice and increase grip.
      In this case the car is just hanging on frictional force. And while weight does increase the frictional force it also increases the breakaway force, the force that is trying to pull the car down the hill.
      The equation would be like this (m*g*my*cos(incline))/(m*g*sin(incline)) where m = mass , g = gravity , my = frictional coefficient of the tires and incline = angle of hill. If this equation is greater or equal to 1 the car stays in place. if not it will start to slide.
      You can see that the m and g are above and below the fractional stroke and will cancel out. This means that the mass does not matter. Only the my factor matters.
      The my factor would ofcourse depend on you tires. Summer tires on ice will have a very low my factor. Your shoes probably has a low factor on ice which is why you couldn't walk up the hill while the car was able to get up(Of course the car has traction control and such which helps it make the most of it's traction. When you start sliding there's not much you can do).

      Ice will melt under high pressure. It would be interesting to know if the tire exerted sufficient pressure for it to make contact with the pavement. Also, a spinning tire will scrape away the ice. The tire will warm as it spins. There's a lot going on that is not apparent to the observer.

  • @brianroberts3312
    @brianroberts3312 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a Tesla MYP as well but to one of the points below, the car is only one factor. Check out some of the Michelin winter tire videos to see how they engineer the sipes in their tires so that you can get this type of traction. I have the X Ice tires on 19” wheels and they are amazing. I need the better stopping distance (compared to the all season tires) as I’m in New England and plan to go to NH/VT to ski.
    I suggest that you don’t push it too far on ice as I had a bad experience in a prior car where the temp drop below freezing while the rain changed to snow. That combination of wet snow over ice made it almost impossible to stop. Scary.

    Tesla’s got some cool tech going on with their regen braking and acceleration. The way they’ve set it up, especially with the controls, is super impressive. You’re just driving, pressing pedals, but the car handles it so smoothly - it’s like magic.

      Yes, the physics of high pressure / a heavy car reducing the melting point of ice has generally not been mentioned as a factor in these comments. There are a few variables involved (e.g. pressure = car weight x tyre contact area, and how cold the ice was) but there is probably some beneficial effect of a heavy car, even if not to the extent of a skater's blade momentarily thawing the ice under it!

    Good tires, as well as a good car is very important in many situations. But a good driver
    is the most important in all situations. The cars that are excellent in snow and ice are Subaru. Mercedes, and now Tesla. The KEY to driving in these conditions is never stop the tires from rolling, until you get to level ground, once the tires stop rolling you can’t turn or stop. On ice it’s the operator that makes the difference even with one of the three vehicles above.

    I think you should factor in the center of gravity of the Tesla car compared to other cars as well, the car is well "situated" on a surface due to its relative low C.G. which to an extent increases it's "relative grip" over black ice...... torque too I believe is another aspect (when the car is moving up a slippery slope), the electric motor has "more" torque at lower speeds than an ICE engine.
