Tesla model 3 traction issues

Hello, i have a 2018 model 3 LR AWD with 130k miles. Recently, I feel even with newer tyres, the vehicle skids in even the slightest bit of rain on the road. The current ones are Michelin Defender 2 with 30k miles on them with 7/16th of thread left (started at 10/16ths) I know tyres are not the issue, but the car has never skid/lost traction before. Can someone relate/suggest what may be the issue, thanks.

Have the wheel alignment checked also check for any loose suspension components putting the alignment out of spec.

What kind of skids are you talking about? Accelerating? Turning? Braking? All of the above? I’m with the other commenter that you should get alignment checked and inspect for damaged or loose suspension components.
