I live on a hill. The only road out of my house goes downhill. On rainy days, I have to be extremely cautious on this road. At very low speeds, 10–20 km/h, if I lift my foot off the accelerator, I can feel the car sliding slightly downhill, and the regenerative braking in my Model 3 deactivates. This results in an unpleasant sensation of the car skidding downwards for a few centimeters/half a second.
The same thing happens on sharp turns and roundabouts when it's wet. Even without pressing much on the accelerator, the car slides (this can easily happen at just 10 or 20 km/h). In city traffic on wet streets, I take extra precautions and leave a greater distance from the car in front, because if I need to brake moderately (for example at 40 km/h), the car slides about half a meter further. These low-speed situations on wet surfaces are very frequent.
On highways or open roads at 100 or 120 km/h, I haven’t experienced these problems, but even so, I don’t feel confident when it rains.
None of these issues happen in dry conditions BTW. It’s a shame because the e.Primacy in other aspects is ok for normal driving and even great (not too noisy, good comfort), but due to its serious issues on wet surfaces, I will replace them very soon, probably before they reach the end of its lifespan. It's a matter of safety.
