It snowed all through the night last night and into this morning, and as I was on my way to drop my daughter off at school, I noticed that my 2023 Model Y was not stopping in “HOLD” mode as it normally does in my driver profile. I checked the settings menu and found this…(SEE PHOTO). The words “Slowly move when pedals are released” were displayed in the settings under Pedals & Steering, and I was unable to change it back to “HOLD” mode. Did my TESLA just recognize that it is driving through heavy snow and enable some sort of “snow creep” mode to assist me on my morning drive in?
Later on in the day, when the snowfall had subsided and much of the snowfall had already melted off, my Model Y returned to “HOLD” mode on its own. Pretty cool—but I think an on-screen visual alert with an audio warning is warranted any time the vehicle no longer holds but rather applies creeping idle. Had I not been paying attention, I may have rolled into the car ahead of me at the red light.
