As slick as that ice was glad you did not fall. Slipped on the ice and broke my Femur 3 weeks ago. It is No fun. Be safe out there. Really enjoyed the Video Very informative.
Great idea for the video. Looks 100% FWD doesn't work, or at least rear wheels are trying to engage all the time when the front don't have any traction.
I have a about 15 degree sloop or more , I struggle to climb with my model3SR, with this unusual raining in winter made the road extremely slippery, had to use chain. But now that I ordered the MYLR and tested drove it on my hill AWD tok it’s like nothing. In Nordic country I guess awd is a good thing to have if the price difference isn’t as it was in model 3.
Thank you for testing MYP on ice! Just something to add. Track mode FWD vs RWD settings apply when the car is turning, not so much when the wheel is pointing straight. It would be interesting to see if "Off Road Assist" helps on ice. Many people are using this mode in icy conditions.
Track Mode doesn't work the way you think. It's actually like AWD always, even if you set distribution to full FWD or full RWD. If this wasn't the case you would not get full power for tracking! So putting the car into FWD of RWD only affects distribution when turning, not in a straight line like you're doing here. It should also be mentioned that this car is normally RWD, only when you step on it or when the back wheels slip the front motor is also used.
Great video! And as a reminder, getting to the top of the hill is only the first part of the battle - making sure you have the tires and conditions to safely descend down is an important decision before going up.
The reason power is sent to both axles regardless of your settings, is because you’re going in a straight line. In that scenario the car can ignore your setting. But in a turn, it’ll limit the torque spread to what you specify
Thanks for a really useful test. Sheet ice with sun on it is as slippery as possible so I wasn’t surprised that the winter tyres didn’t work too well. We’ve just got a dual motor model 3 and I’m going to be interested to see how it manages on its standard Michelin 235/45r18 tyres this winter here in England. I am hoping it will be predictable enough to not need winter tyres, both because of cost and range implications. We’ll see.
@@philipnguyen0802 The 2013 model y sr with lfp batteries is vary good. Yes it is RWD but its a tesla and its safer than most cars on the road.

Du skulle passat på att testa off road assist samt även slirstart. Jag själv kör alltid med off road assist (terrängassistans på svenska) när det är halt ute för att slippa bakvagnssläppet som blir när man släpper acc-pedalen och regenererar.

How has the tires performed on the sometimes icy roads and hills? Looking to buy r5 but i dont know how safe they are down hills and when we have icy roads when you are in a corner for example?😄
I have been running on stufless R3 and R5 the last 6 years and I'm really happy with them. But I live in Stockholm so the winter conditions are limited and not that harsh. On clean ice studded tires will perform better though.
Anyone knows if Sport mode is real-time AWD or part-time AWD? Because I can update my Model Y Long Range from Standard to Sport by purchasing the Acceleration Boost, but I'm wondering if that helps the icy condition in winter here in Canada. Tesla's using part-time AWD by default, so it's still slippery in winter even for AWD models 😢
It's adapting depending on the conditions. In slow speeds when slippery it's AWD, when flooring it it's AWD, when driving it in a constant speed on the highway it's RWD .
@@ItsOnlyElectric That's the problem, it will have a sudden drift on the snow/ice if it's in RWD mode in winter, then it notices the drift and turns on the AWD mode, but it's already drifted, sometimes too late.
That's what I'm setting the drive mode to. But clearly it puts power to the rear wheels anyway. So that's the conclusion, it uses all wheels anyway. This was hard to tell whilst driving. But I talk about it at the end of the video.
Then there is the question of whether a Tesla that only has rear-wheel drive behaves differently than a four-wheel-drive Tesla on which you have chosen rear-wheel drive
@@ItsOnlyElectric I don't know much about it so excuse the dumb question. Where I am in Australia we never have the need to change from all season tyres. Thanks for the reply!
@@ItsOnlyElectric When the car is moving uphill, the weight of the car is shifted to the rear wheels and the front wheels should slip. Or does Tesla have a 70 by 30 weight distribution on the front wheels?
How on Earth are you switching from FWD only to RWD only and to AWD. I thought with the model Y all wheels are active with the dual l motors. To me it looked like the Rear wheels were powered no matter what mode you put them in. I didn't see the front wheels slipping at all. So I am not sure what your tests proved to me. I would say not much.
@@ItsOnlyElectric thought the slip mode was for ice and snow, so was wondering why you never tried it on the ice, it might if made a difference to the results, perhaps next time .. thanks for the time and effort you put in to it, very informative 👍
@asdandy148 slip mode allows the wheel to spin a bit more if you are stuck. So in this case on ice when losing traction it will probably only gonna make it worse.
Nice ice but, dude knows so little about vehicle dynamics that he doesn't feel the rear of the car step out and hear the sound of thet rear tires gripping and slipping in "Full FWD" mode? I don't have aTesla and I don't know wht the other modes will do yet but Full FWD is instantly engaging the rear wheels when the Left front slips while the RF has traction.
The track mode was releases just a week before the test, so it was the first time testing. And discovered a lot after watching the video. Try driving a car in a slope on clean ice and see if you will feel the rear wheel slip..😉 The strange thing is the dynamics of the track mode. You really don't know when it engages traction to the rear or front wheels in a case like this.
@@ItsOnlyElectric hmmm, only one test to find with good ice grip results…, though pure ice is for each car a tricky and dangerous situation at too high speed… In the video it is good to see how less grip have big problems to move 2 tons up a small hill😂 Thanks for the hint, all basic settings will manage the car performance for it best!
@@ItsOnlyElectric we had today extreme clean icing with frozen rain. Sitting on a hill with 9% climbing at the the end of the road the MY had no problems to reach the cosy warm garage 👍🎯
I don't think you can use track mode for this test. Seems nothing like the experience I've had with Model 3 SR+/RWD. Turn off track mode and simply drive.
@@ItsOnlyElectric I get that, but the title say's "...RWD or AWD, how good is it on ive?", and I don't think this test represents this test. Tesla has pure RWD and AWD vehicles, and that's what I thought was going to be tested. But yesm thanks for the video non-the-less, just pointing out the "flaw" in the title, since I was looking for footage of a RWD Model Y in snow or ice ;)
I miss standard mode, something in the middle between chill and sport. Sport mode makes me dizzy, so i dont use it, but in chill sometimes its not enough power ;)
I have an X with the best tyres recommended for winter driving in Norway. I trust my X as far as I could throw it driving on ice or fresh snow conditions. Freaking tyres are so wide, useless for fresh snow, black ice, impossible, I don't even leave the house in those conditions, only studded tyres "might" help there.
it seems ridiculous that there's not a "track mode/snow-ice mode" (one that also limits regen braking) for all tesla cars, not just the MYP. We have a MYLR and we need a snow/ice mode like this. crazy.
There is a snow mode it just auto enables itself in the background based upon traction conditions and will limit regen and become more AWD bias rather than rear bias
Glad I don't have to fluff around with all those silly settings. I know you are showing us the different modes, but just proves electronics are no substitute for mechanical drives. My LC 150 is full-time 4wd. If I need more traction, I simply select 4L with a knob and if I need even more traction, push 1 button to engage the mechanical lockers. Job done. It's a nice video and demonstration, but would hate a car that has all those menus to go through just to engage something.
Haha...it's not all about temperature. -20 with dry air doesn't feel as cold as -2 with high degree of moist. We get -20 - -30 here too but further north of Sweden.

On ice you should have ”studs” always. Friction wheels only perform well on snow.
