Icy road setting?

[CyberTruckeeTheOne]

Question to better minds or with actual experience.

For icy roads, do you set into off-road, for better traction, or do just let the Cybetruck's traction control to work it's magic?

For my SUV, I set it to high 4 making it an AWD and activating it's traction control.

Let the Cybertruck do its thing.

Chill mode helps

I have found overly-aggressive regeneration braking can be a problem in icy conditions in the other Tesla vehicles I have owned. High regen can kick in with a sudden driver reaction to a situation/need to slow down where the driver completely takes the foot off the accelerator rather than easing off less aggressively. This can trigger a spin.

d suggest do nothing, but as always, slow down and take things easy. Don't go fast.

For those that live in the Northern climates and have to drive in it. on a regular basis, there are a few things that they have learned to do in other Teslas.
But if you don't drive on icy roads regularly, I don't suggest them. Quite often, changing little things about the driving style of the vehicle can take some getting used to. You do't want to get used to them when driving on ice.

I felt this for a while too with our model 3, but got a lot more confident with regen by the end of the season. Obviously snow tires help traction control do its job. It occasionally felt like it broke loose, accelerating or decelerating, but I could not make it spin no matter what I did. Adding more pedal to reduce regen instead of just letting off the pedal takes some new muscle memory.

didnt one of the recent updates add "slippery conditions" menu option? I assumed that was for snow/ice...
