The tires I had on were the original ones, and they were replaced by Tesla after the incident to the same "all season" Michelin ones (Primacy mxm4). I drove on these tires for 4 long winters now, and they are fine on packed snow, rain and slush, but I noticed that a couple of times I slid when...

I could not hit the brake, because I was stretched across the front seat sideways. The stop when I pressed P was very quick (I felt a jolt). The car could have slipped some distance, but probably not more than, say, 50cm. There was no summon active, and, as I explained above, the car could not...

Just asked for a change of title. Many thanks to all who responded. It was very helpful!

How do I contact the moderator? Sorry, I'm a new member. I searched but couldn't find a way to do that.

Yes, you are right. I think it stopped so suddenly because the locked back wheels hit a dry patch. The synchronizing between the P button press and the immediate stop was so perfect, I was totally convinced it was a cause and effect, but freak stuff happens. Now I feel guilty for the title of...

The service manager claimed they didn't send him the log and he cannot share it with me. He stated that he was told the log just shows me stopping the car, engaging parking brake and that's it. No other events afterwards. They also reviewed the pictures and believe the small pileup of snow...

I just got a call from the Tesla service manager. He told me that the engineers looked at my log and found nothing unusual. They suggest that the locked back tires slid back on the snow (as some already suggested above) and stopped on its own. By pure coincidence, the stopping happened at the...

This was suggested earlier, but it doesn't explain how I managed to stop the car (abruptly, on the spot) by pressing the P button. If pressing the P button made such a dramatic and immediate difference, the car was not in P before I pressed it. Besides, my driveway is not nearly as steep as the...

The P is engaged when the door is opened. An alarm sounds as well. There was no alarm. One detail that may be important here is that as I leaped in and reached across the steering wheel to press the P button, I noticed that the instrument panel said "car off". You can actually see this message...

An interesting theory, but doesn't explain how come the car stopped immediately when the P button was pressed. Besides, the driveway was not slippery at all. It was totally ice free. Just light snow powder.

As I wrote above, when the gear is not in P and the door is opened, the car is supposed to sound an alarm and automatically shift to P, so if the car was not in P when I exited, it malfunctioned. It is possible in N to press the brake pedal while opening the door without the car shifting...

My creep mode is off. In any case, when I try it now, my car immediately shifts to P from any gear and sounds a warning when I open the door.

Yup, Adrenaline rush. In hindsight, my car would have probably rolled cross the street, destroy the opposite neighbor's garage door and perhaps dent his car (and itself). It was morning, when there is typically some traffic and kids on their way to school on our street, so the risk of hurting...

A couple days ago, I parked my P85D in my driveway, which slopes downwards towards the street. There was no passenger, just me. After opening the door (no warning sounds), exiting the car and standing by it behind the open door, the car suddenly started rolling backwards, down the slope, with...
