      Re winter testing:

      Apparently it got tested a lot I NZ during their winter. If you’re ever in Cardrona you see a TON of unreleased vehicles, from every manufacturer, being tested in camouflage wrappers.

      But that said, a lot of people forget that Northern CA gets a fuck load of snow. A lot of us in the Bay Area do day trips to the Sierras for skiing / snowboarding.

      And last winter was intense. Quite a few days where several feet of snow dropped in 24 hours. And that can create some crazy driving. Especially when you’re on winding hills with roads that usually don’t see any salt - just sand to keep fresh water rivers clean.
