This was really helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience. I definitely don't want the range anxiety. I am trying to justify $15000 price difference (losing $5000 Fed Incentives, and the LR AWD is $10000 more).

Thank you! that was some good insights. As you mentioned, the price difference and the incentives make the SR+ very attractive choice.

Agree... I used to drive manual and RWD for years... and now even though we don't get as much snow, we are so used to the AWDs... Thanks for you input, I guess we only need the AWD for few weeks in winter, other than that it's not really important.

I wasn't expecting that big of a loss in range! Please do send over the excel sheet, that would help a lot cause I have no idea how much would cost to charge it up. My building hasn't installed anything yet for electric cars in the garage, so I have to charge it up somewhere for a while... I...

That's great! I think I end up going for the M3 SR+. I will get the car by the end of March if I order now. Hopefully, the winter would be over by then, hehe!

Yes, I had the LR AWD for a night. It is an amazing car and definitely put smile on your face.

I kinda got the same feeling when I was trying to slide/drift in the icy parking lot and it refused to do that. The only time I got stuck was when I slowly went uphill on icy part the of parking lot. I drive in Montreal every day, I guess I can get by and enjoy the savings.

Agree! I think the AWD is a wiser option for us in Quebec. The extra range will compensate for the range we lose in extreme cold weather. Thanks for your comment.

This was really helpful. I was at Tesla today and managed to find an icy parking lot around the industrial area. It got stuck going uphill (was really icy though) I had to back up a little and tried again... This will be my only car so as you said If I want to be on the safe side I should go...

Hello all, I am currently driving a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic (I have been driving only AWD since 2011). I am from Montreal, Quebec and the average temperature is about -10C degree through out winter (and the winter is kinda long here). I was about to finance a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG...
