The point was the claim by Tesla that the truck wouldn't jack-knife and you have to assume from their statement that they have that covered. On your teflon coated warm ice scenario the forces on the tyres would be so tiny that it wouldn't take much energy to control the angle of the cab to the trailer and the whole lot could carry on to it's fate without an embarrassing jack-knife.
Why not concentrate on the positives instead of nitpicking the details to try to prove a point? You're better than that. It's been a breath of fresh air to read this thread with so many positive interesting contributions.

These conditions are encountered in almost every European country and northern America every winter. I learnt to drive in them. Tesla do not have this covered, they can no more subvert the laws of physics here than they and Fisker can with recharging times.
