Drove it out in the rain to get my wife some mother's day breakfast, at least the lighting was excellent! Lol

Question; when you drive in the rain, do you use "snow mode" (eye stalk) to increase traction after stopping or something else? It could be the stock tires I still have (run flats) but it's hard enough to not lose traction even on dry surfaces.

I don't, but I do turn my throttle controller back to stock mode, whereas normally I keep it on 50% increased response. I engage the TRAC light much more frequently when it's raining out for sure so I don't think your experience is unique, altho I'm sure the run flats don't help, lol.

Thanks, usually make every effort not to drive during inclement weather anyway. More worried about others driving habits!

Agreed. I also try not to find myself in the rain but since I daily it I do get caught in rainstorms now and then. Yesterday was the first time I actually intentionally took it out knowing full well it was raining. Used it as an excuse to get the rain to rinse the dust off. Used the blower to dry it off as soon as I got home and seems to have done a decent job clearing off the surface dust and pollen!

I'm debating whether to even open the garage door since it's literally raining pollen here.

Ha!
I bet the beautiful Atonic silver LC500 was a glistening sight to behold moving majestically down the interstate through the pouring rain. I’ve no doubt it was more than up to the task. Glad it got you home safely (And comfortably). 👍😊
