Yes. I tell that to myself all the time. Then the other side of me says "nah... you can it make through, just go slower..."

Yep. That was exactly what I described in my OP. Terrifying when your vehicle starts moving sideways when you are already moving forwards at 50mph+. And in low visibility. And with other cars around you.

Thanks. This is exactly my concern, and you explained it more succinctly than I did. And btw, I used to employ almost exactly the same "test" method with my old manual cars.

This is interesting, and kind of what I expected. It's not reason enough to be a luddite, and I will own an EV sooner rather than later, but it makes me slightly sad. Tell me, if someone offered you a brand new (but otherwise identical) Model 3 Performance as your current car, would you...

Thank you... this is exactly my experience on the Northway (feeling like a knuckleballing projectile)! You make a good argument for an overbuilt tank like the R1T! And I wish I could live more my time up there (we have a house near Chestertown) but work keeps me in NYC during the weekdays.

Since I live in the city (Brooklyn), studded tires are not really a good option for me. But that would definitely help upstate! And again, I might be wrong (which is why I posted the question), but if you assume a skid is inevitable eventually, I assume the heavier weight of an EV limits your...

Thanks. This is good to know. Of course, I only got 30 minutes behind the wheel in Brooklyn traffic. So not a great sample size! And I notice you have a Hellcat... even noisier than my 392!

There is a charger in Albany, so range is less of a concern. It's the fact that I am usually always on the edge of traction, and I assume catching a high-speed slide is much difficult in a 7000lb truck compared to a 3600lb SUV (both with snow tires).

About a month ago I got to see and drive the R1T for the first time, and was super impressed with the entire package. It is beautiful piece of technology and I am sure many people will make many happy memories with the vehicle. However, the experience helped cement my opinion that the R1T...

Something is not quite right here. From what I can tell in the data, it took 20 minutes to go from 20% to 50% SOC (a 30% increment) at a reasonably constant charge rate close to 150 kW/hr. Then it took almost exactly the same duration (21 mins) to go from 50% SOC to 80% SOC, which also an...
