I'm not a Tesla fan but to me the car seemed to handle it in a reasonable manner i.e. by disengaging whenever the FSD sensed slippery conditions (although the traction control system when on autopilot certainly seems to need some tweaking). I'm not sure what sort of tires were fitted but it seemed to struggle more when FSD was engaged vs. the human driver.

It's also trying to drive much too fast for the conditions and its veering all over the road until the driver takes over.

Most of my life i drove on all seasons and only got "snow tires" 4 years ago because I get a discount on my insurance for having them. The reason it is having issues is because it is attempting to accelerate too quickly for the road conditions. Perhaps snow tires might help a bit, but if it is unable to handle "all seasons" and a bit of snow.. that itself is a problem and snows may not fix it because they are not some sort of magic that suddenly gives you amazing traction on something slippery like snow. If there is over a few CM of snow on the ground, i can spin my 2 yer old snow tires as fast as i want... Speedo showing 90km/h while i am hardly moving... All i need to do is disconnect the TC and press hard on the gas, the snows quickly lose traction and spin. The human driver is obviously lighter on the acceleration due to road conditions and so less TC is needed.
