Tesla Semi slides on ice and impressively regains control

Tesla’s Semi program lead Dan Priestley shared a video of the electric truck holding its line on icy winter surfaces, sliding under control rather than skidding out of it.

The clip is a rare look at the Tesla Semi’s Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system doing exactly what an electric drivetrain is supposed to do better than a diesel one: catch a heavy rig before it gets away from the driver.
