Default Can I get a final answer? "1 wheel is in the air"

I am reading mixed info... when one wheel is in the air or does not have ANY traction, will the car have ANY power to move on its own?

Default I must have missed this. But wouldn't the remaining three wheels still have traction...

Maybe i'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you mean.

Default That doesn't make too much sense though. Wouldn't the power be re-distributed through the diff?

Default EDL= Electronic Differential locks (locking) but they cheat and use ABS to load the axle . . .

by actuating the brakes.

But it works, but it is not an electrically modulated differential.
