I have a 2020 corolla and i got stuck in a snow storm yesterday. My car is default with traction on. So i was stuck going up a hill in the snow and as soon as i turned off traction mode i wad able to climb the hill. Why does traction mode suck ? I thought it was supossed to be something that helps you.

>>28767747electronic nannys suck, that's allI prefer braking in snow without abs than with abs.
>>28767751They need to test cars more in the snow when they build them
>>28767751I was trying to say what exactly is this traction mode. What does it do. How does it function.

>>28767747Skidding is usually bad and usually gives less traction. You don’t want it to happen unexpectedly since the car can go sideways.Grinding/burning down through a layer of snow when you’re otherwise stuck on top with next to no traction is the exception to the “less traction” thing, and it would be a bit complicated to program a traction control system to tell the difference, so it’s better to have a traction control system that you can turn off when it’s not suitable for the situation than one that decides wrongly to turn off on its own.
>>28767755Most traction control is just throttle control. It literally just limits throttle input. Turn it off and control the throttle with your foot like a man. When in doubt, throttle out.
>>28767747Optimal wheel slip is 3-4%Unless you are in a higher end sports car, TC is gonna be gimped.I drove a 500hp LS3 swapped ND Miata with a HallTech TC system.Is was basically flawless.Almost unnoticeable.Only the exhaust sounds gave it away.

>>28767755it's a "safety feature" that cuts power when detecting wheel slippage. are you fucking 12? who doesn't know what TCS is
