2021 TESLA MODEL Y STANDARD RANGE RWD – SNOW DRIVING

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly tests the 2021 Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD's capabilities in a significant snowstorm. The reviewer expresses considerable surprise and satisfaction with the vehicle's performance, noting its ability to navigate deep snow and slippery conditions with remarkable stability, even on all-season tires. Key highlights include the effectiveness of the traction and stability control systems, which prevent excessive wheel spin and maintain composure during acceleration and turns. The reviewer emphasizes that while all-wheel drive and winter tires would offer even greater capability, the rear-wheel-drive Model Y, in stock form, proves surprisingly competent for occasional heavy snow events. The video also touches on the increased energy consumption in snow conditions and the limitations of regenerative braking. Overall, the Model Y earns a high mark for its winter driving prowess, providing a sense of security and confidence for the driver.
