~~It’s worth noting that due to brilliant design decisions, the only way to put different tires on it is to replace the whole wheel.~~ edit: apparently this part was not correct, my apologies for the misinformation

That's just with AWD, not even 4x4, let alone a low range mode!

Why's he spinning the tires so much?

Do BMW drivers actually understand the concept of letting off on the gas a bit, or is that a lost art for them like turn signals and shoulder-checks?

It makes it an even better example, you must be even more stupid than a BMW driver to be stuck like that Cybertruck driver!

You've definitely answered your own question in that second sentence of yours...

You don't need low range in snow

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Depends how stuck you want to get!

Higher range is actually better in snow/slippery conditions. You're less likely to over throttle and break traction. Many cars have a snowy condition button and it usually causes the car to take off in second gear and and dampens throttle input to help prevent slippage.
