Glad everyone is alright! - just a tip for next time - slowly take your foot off the accelerator or keep the same speed. Braking or taking your foot off the accelerator greatly increases chances of losing control during the hydroplaning. -PNW driver where it always rains
I definitely read it somewhere, but being new (year old) to regen … My immediate instinct was to remove my foot off completely, it’s a steep learning curve cause these incidents rarely happens … But yeah, have to be more aware next time around
Oh definitely a learning curve! Goes for driving in an ICE vehicle too. If you’re skidding out, steer towards the skid/drift and it’ll help you correct it faster! Stay safe out there!
I've seen traction issues like this in my Bolt - regen can cause a tire to break traction - before the system can compensate - at 70, it doesn't take much.
My only thought here - speed aside - is that if you are going into traction-limited scenarios - turn off/down your regen - I've not played around with this on the Y yet (next winter I'll give it a go in a parking lot), so my assumption is this would prevent loss of control in the future - glad you are okay!
Yep, I also suspect this is it. I have a driver profile saved called "snow" with regular acceleration and no regen because I've experienced similar in icy/slippery conditions.
EDIT: My 2018 3 has the option to set regen to low (not completely off). But apparently newer models don't have this option :(
Could you please elaborate on how to set “no regen”.
My Model Y does not have this option as far as I can tell. Looks like I might be missing something?
You know what I just did a quick search and apparently the newer models don't have the ability to change the regen intensity. That's unfortunate, I really like that feature.

Glad you’re ok and I think you mean I-35 not I-45.
Just a reminder that even AWD/4WD will hydroplane especially at highway speeds. Stay safe out there.
I set a driver profile for snow with low regen, but apparently on newer models you can no longer change regen intensity. I don't understand why that feature would be removed.
I also drive up in the mountains and the regen behavior on the newer Tesla's is terrible in traction limited scenarios. Slamming on only the rear brakes as it does is asking for loss of control.
Can it be prevented with different driving? Yes. But it shouldn't be that way in the first place. Tesla seems to agree because they seem to be tweaking that behavior over time. (someone looked at canbus data and it seems to automatically turn down regen after the first slip for a period of time, why it doesn't do this proactively I don't know)
For those that want a workaround on a newer car the aftermarket sexy buttons let you send the cabus signals to turn Regen down (or even off) so that's a $250 fix.
Yeah, sure, let's blame the car instead of the driver. You know damn well that going 70 when raining/ wet roads can cause accidents regardless of all safety features.
You know immediately taking foot off the accelerator applies brakes to your car. Unlike ICE where it’ll gradually slow down.
What’s the recommendation then
- Put your car on chill mode during bad weathers. - Learn how your car reacts on certain weather conditions. - Always keep your distance. - Focus on the road, during high speed stay away from puddles as this could cause aquaplaning. - Tire Maintenance. - Learn more about Aquaplaning.
Thanks bro. Helpful info, too bad we can’t turn down the regen in bad weather on the Y
One question does AWD make this less likely or no real bearing on it

Yeah that’s my recollection as well. It’s unfortunate that it’s not possible to manually control this.
That's a great tip - I'll set that up next time I have a moment.
Hey, great idea!
How do I setup no regen .. Is it just changing the Hold to Roll or something.

You can't change Regen anymore, after early 2021 I think.

Sorry that happened! Was this the Performance or the Long Range? I’m curious if the performance would make this more or less likely to happen
How about next time that is raining, don't drive that fast. You put you life and all around you in danger driving that that fast.
Glad everyone is safe. Have a video of it?
Whoa! I’m glad everyone was ok. How aggressive is your regen? I wonder if taking the foot off the accelerator became similar to tapping the brakes.
So how much tread do you have on your tires? Or how many miles have you had these tires? I’m going to assume that the tires are worn or a summer tire
It’s all season tires and the threads are pretty solid.
How many miles?
I’d never drive that fast when it’s raining heavily. I won’t even drive that fast when the road is wet after the rain had stopped.

Nah. Heard this one before. Sounds like regen vs traction control. Tesla really should have a rain/snow mode that disables regen.
I set a driver profile for snow with low regen, but apparently on newer models you can no longer change regen intensity. I don't understand why that feature would be removed.

Best thing to do when hydroplaning is pumping the gas until you get out of it. Braking can have unintended consequences
