Polestar 2 slip and slide due to traction

[EbouDAR]

A bit of a scare this morning driving my Polestar 2 on a damp road. The car slipped a little and swerved to the left. I'm wondering if there might have been some ice I didn't see. Has anyone else experienced this with their Polestar 2? Any tips for driving safely in cold weather conditions?

Hm, weird! Go check the place again and see if there was any ice, haha! I am joking! I don't know what to say about your Polestar 2. I have never experienced that. Though, these tips might help you:
- just check the tire pressure whenever you want to go for a long drive... cold weather reduces tire pressure (this can affect grip and handling);
- when you feel like the conditions are not favorable for the car, switch the one-pedal driving feature to a lower regenerative braking setting or turn it off (I presume you use Polestar's one-pedal-driving feature);
- and keep an eye on the weather. If you feel it is cold outside, then pay more attention when you drive.

If this happens again, then it might be the car's fault...

It’s possible that black ice was the issue. I’d recommend driving cautiously, reducing speed, and using winter tires for better grip in these conditions.

This car is pretty heavy, and no matter how good the suspension is, physics still applies. It just takes a lot more effort to stop a heavier car because it has more momentum.

I'm not sure if it would've helped you, but in icy or snowy conditions, I always turn off one-pedal driving. Coasting is really important for regaining control on slippery roads, and braking can easily make you lose traction.
