Another observation here with so many slick spots on the road, the traction control is light-years ahead of anything else I've driven. In the caravan and the prius, traction control is more punitive: "If you keep putting your foot down that hard I'm going to keep shutting down completely and make you wait". But the leaf backs off just enough for the appropriate wheel speed then cycles back towards the throttle setting, and you can hear it slip at the end of the cycle so you know you can back off on the throttle (it blips a little light too).
