You’re not the first to be stuck on grass, and won’t be the last. It’s not called green glass for nothing, it is truly slick stuff.

It’s when the car says it’s going to lower as it thinks it going too fast for off road height, but you’re just crawling, that’s when you know you’ve not got a lot of traction going on.
1) DSC OFF
2) TR in Grass/Gravel/Snow
3) Moderate throttle, gently tap the brake momentarily with left foot
On really slippy ground you'll get all 4 wheels turning at the same speed. The car sees all wheels turning and thinks it's moving fine. You tap the brake and one or two of the wheels will stop or slow enough that the car recognises the speed difference and starts applying traction control to individual wheels.
You can also try rock crawl as that is a bit sharper on locking up the wheels, but try G/G/S first.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

You’re confusing me with those who bought new FFRR’s Del. I am very much a forelock-tugger. My used L405 cost less than my last new D4 Landmark. 0ver 50% depreciation after 2.5 years and 20,500 miles.

Had a few FFRRs in my mis-spent 20s, similarly none came with a butler. My fave was a VM powered diesel. Happy days.
