| I know some people who own a RWD Tesla. This is their third winter. They say it is the most stable car they have ever driven on snow and ice. I am sure the weight has some to do with it, but the computer goes a long way toward keeping it out of the rhubarb too.
Makes me wonder what makes some people think there is any difference between an automatic and an EV when they perform alike. Heck, the EV lacks shifts which can cause tires to break free in icy conditions. They are probably safer than automatics for that reason.
The only thing making a manual safer is the driver decides when to shift, and that only applies to drivers who truly know how to drive and when to shift in bad conditions.
Do newer vehicles with manual transmissions have stability control, traction control, and/or antilock brakes? I honestly don't know. But I do know that the three combined in a well engineered system is remarkable at keeping a vehicle between the lines. | |
