During heavy rain driving, I noticed that my T8 in Hybrid mode easily aquaplanes and any slight increase in acceleration exacerbates the situation.
So I switched it to AWD mode. The situation improved but the car was still a little unsteady. I then switched it to Power mode. What big difference this made. Suddenly, the car was more surefooted than in any other driving mode. And it felt a little more powerful than in AWD though in the latter it makes use of both the ICE and electric motors, yet I wondered why it didn't feel as secure and powerful as it was in Power mode.
Any ideas?
As for me, I've resolved to not use anything other than Power mode whenever the road surface is full of water to ensure that the car doesn't slip off corners or lose control next to other cars in heavy rains. You may need to do likewise
