Glad you asked, because you are FAR from being clear.
I expect a car to give me power when I apply the 'gas'. This car didn't do that but instead did nothing. Now that I've been through this I can see other instances (as I have already discussed) where this "feature" could be a safety issue. Not something I'm willing to go through.
Being stuck is one thing, having the "feature" kick in on an incline could be disasterous.
So, before you run your mouth and make a fool of yourself by applying grade school logic and attempting to reduce my experience to nothing but degrading comments, actually READ what was posted and understand or at least TRY to comprehend what was written before you engage your keyboard.

I'm not the least worried about looking like a fool...I've carefully read all your posts looking for the slightest clue of any problem related to the vehicle.
You want power supplied to the wheels
despite the fact that that power would a)not get any traction and b)cause damage to your car. See, folks far smarter than you have worked this through....they've already figured out that spinning the
tires just so you can here them spin and feel the ICE go "vroom" is pointless and could lead to serious damage. That's first grade and post-grad level logic b/c it's pure logic. Giving you useless power for the sake of your auditory satisfaction is pointless.
Don't get stuck, buy chains, take responsibility for your own faults and actions.
BTW, if you floor the pedal, and leave it there, the
tires will incrementally move in an effort to get you out...the ICE won't run b/c it can't supply any additional power beyond the incredible torque that the MGs can provide..which is what you need to pull out.
Again, I have some experience with this vehicle over two winters of ownership, never got stuck and never had the slightest problem with traction. I operated the vehicle within it's designed limits and it performed perfectly and even beyond my expectations in those conditions.
YMMV
