I think driving the Prius for all those years definitely changed my driving style,no need for a lead foot.....unleaded you're unfortunate enough to actually have a lead foot!!

Youse are overthinking it!  It's a feature of EV's - the torque is just too much if you're not careful.  And I've only done it a few times - specifically when turning right at a T-junction in damp conditions.  Other than those few times, I'm the bestest driver there is out there  :P

There's pressure sensors on the tyres and you can see them on the display if you want.  If they were out of wack, I'm sure the car would beep at me  C:-)  It already beeps at me 3 or 4 times a day (for different stuff)  oops

The Prius would wheel spin no bother if the traction control wasn't so strong.Instead it just spins a little then it stutters then it catches grip and off ya go.

It won't be long before they regulate the power out of EVs.Cant be having bog-standard Teslas leaving motorbikes and fast cars in in their rearview mirrors.They're too fast for most of us.
