We need a snow driving mode

[mr_662]

I live in upstate NY and we are just digging out from the storm yesterday.

During the storm I took my wife’s Rivian out for a spin. I found it had a snow mode where it lowers the aggressiveness of the regen breaking and lowers the pickup to avoid the torque spinning wheels and sliding the truck. The weight of the truck, all terrain tires and the snow mode made the Rivian snow driving a dream.

We really need a snow drive mode for the Lightning. I’ve definitely found myself sliding because of blipping the throttle too hard or stepping off the gas to quick and the regen kicking in. It feels like it could be done as a software update.

Really like this idea.

I found standard mode worked really well for snow versus Sport that I keep it in normally.

I do exactly the same and never use one pedal.

I'd like to see a slider to adjust regen and acceleration from none to maximum to my preference. But I like buttons and knobs.

2 pedal normal mode for the snow.

It doesn't need a snow mode.

Best thing for winter driving is snow tires.
