Video Summary
The Model Y is a good vehicle for driving in the snow.For regions with a lot of snow, all-wheel drive is recommended, or at a minimum, winter tires.
It can be dicey out there, as traffic can be slow-moving.
With stability control properly enabled, the Model Y cannot spin out too much.
Many cars have special drive modes, but the Model Y only needs "Slip Start" turned on.
There’s only so much anyone can do to keep the car going straight if traction is lost on all contact patches on the road.
All-season tires are adequate in areas where snow is an anomaly, occurring only once or twice per year.
The electric motors give very precise traction control.
With full throttle from a complete stop in snow, the stability control will quickly cut the power to help the car maintain forward direction.
The all-season tires handled the snow pretty darn well.
The tester was impressed with the stability control.
Headlights are good.
Energy usage is high.
It is a quiet, peaceful ride, with the heated seats and fan turned on.
It's known not to get sucked into snow ruts because its weight helps it dig down into the ground and get the traction it needs.
Even when a passenger expected the car to slide around corners or while trying to get going, there was none of that happening.
The reviewer gives the Model Y a grade of "A" in the snow.
