1/ Nope! TC systems are activated/controlled using the ABS module, which has tiny solenoids that move crazy fast. I can't say if one is better than the other without a really, REALLY detailed insight of how exactly the TC would work on a Tesla. But from the way he described it,
2/ there's no operational benefit. The TC system on ICE cars uses the ABS module to apply pressure to individual calipers (all four wheel speeds/torque outputs are capable of being independently controlled without user input) which, when paired with open or limited slip
3/ differentials, can manage to prevent a car's yaw (rotation, ie spinning out) most of the time. The engine and transmission modules are also typically part of the equation on the same powertrain CAN network, which works in sync with the ABS to reduce engine torque along with
4/ managing wheel speeds. Which is why and how most cars with a decent TC system will understeer while cornering with TC turned on (default mode) but can oversteer without it. IIRC, Bosch pioneered the version that most new cars use to this day. Not Musk. While I know the
5/ electric motors can provide a much more instant torque output than an ICE, the reality is that traction control is a negative feedback loop (slowing the car down) not a positive one. And the electric drive motors are NOT faster than the solenoids in the ABS module. THE END.
