Something like this happened to me this morning in the snow ('23 CT4S). I was braking and hit a patch of black ice. The pedal softened up, went down a couple of inches, and the ABS kicked in.
Theory/speculation: I was using normal regenerative braking, and at least one tire lost all grip on the ice, then the regenerative braking cut-out, and the hydraulic braking/ABS kicked-in exclusively. I expect that the regenerative braking has an artificial brake-feel, and without that, I had to push the pedal down further to achieve the hydraulic action/feel.
