This isn't just the Prius! A lot of undefeatable/unswitchable traction control systems do this! Also a set of winter tires might just cure this! And I was in the bush with a buddy in his Highlander Hybrid and it was totally useless in a foot of snow even with snow tires because of the undefeatable traction control!
And I drive a STi but even it has good winters on it!

Did that Prius have snow tires? Being from a northern climate, I don’t think a lot of 2WD vehicles would make it up a slippery driveway without a running start on all season tires.

Also, putting snow melt or salt down can sometimes make things more slippery. You can end up getting a mixture of ice and water on the surface.

I can't believe you just wasted my time with this. Awful. Worthless.

See, this is why you need a good running start. And maybe a 3' ramp or so, to give it that extra oomph.

Or, you know, trade it in for a Highlander Hybrid! Wait.
