I drove a Model 3 AWD to a snowy and icy area this vacation and have to say the traction control is phenomenal. I mean really astounding. I was able to climb steep hills that the car had NO right to climb, with summer tires, that locals (presumably with 4WD or AWD and snow tires, though I can't be sure, but these are people who live in snow covered mountains) were giving up on and backing out of. The trick was going very slow... in the steepest parts, as slow as a fraction of walking speed. Which admittedly won't always work if an aggressive driver relying on momentum is charging up behind you, but I was watching my back. Yeah, I may have just gotten lucky. But I think with snow tires the car would have been a beast on the same hill. Later on a wide, empty, mostly flat road covered with ice I attempted many times to break traction and induce a slide, and the vehicle maintained control at all times. Again, summer tires. I am an experienced snow/ice driver having grown up in a snowy, mountainous area. The car is seriously impressive in winter conditions. It's no coincidence that Tesla's largest sales numbers per capita are in Norway. None of this comment was about autopilot, but I believe autopilot can leverage the same traction control and couple it with autopilot features so I wouldn't be surprised if this video is not just a fluke... time will tell.
