Faltering acceleration in very cold conditions

[Swissbob]

I drive up into the mountains yesterday with cold conditions and a lot of snow on the car and roads. Left the car parked for 2 hours and then drove it down. On the way down the car wouldn’t accelerate properly. Got onto a clear bit of road and same problem. Even flooring it. It would only accelerate very slowly. No wheel spinning or traction issue. One of the parking sensors did have snow on it. Stoped at the shop for 10 mins and the problem was gone when I started driving again. Any ideas?

Interesting assuming nothing was on driver display about collision, conditions, etc? No messages?

Did you check the battery temp? Curios if that was a factor. Range mode?

No warning messages. Battery would certainly have been cold though
