Just thought I'd ask this to see what you all have to say now that cold weather, rain, fallen leaves along with snow and ice will be coming our way the next few months.
What's the expert opinion/best practice on how best to handle a hydroplaning Model S AWD at highway speeds?
I'm thinking the best thing to do is to steer the car where you want it to go with deliberate and firm but moderate movement of the steering wheel towards the center of the lane you want to be in but to make no harsh and abrupt steering movements. At the same time not slamming on your brakes or letting go of the accelerator as that will cause max regen but rather ease off on the accelerator to slightly reduce the speed so the deceleration input is mild.
Is this the best approach or am I missing something?
