    Dual motor vs. RWD in winter driving.

    I haven't been able to find a good thread on this subject even though I'm sure it exists. Does the extra costs warrant the getting a car with dual motors??? My main concern for getting Dual Motors would be winter handling but I'm unsure of the extra cost? What is your experience/thoughts?

    Traction in Snow

    We have a P85D and a short, but steep drive. When it snowed a few days ago our car was unable to make it up the drive without spinning out and slipping backward. There was about 2" of wet snow on the drive which hadn't previously been driven on. We were finally able to get up the drive after...

    Any Upcoming BEVs with AWD besides the Germans?

    Looks like most Japanese car makers are making an about face with Toyota, Honda and even Mazda announcing they will be producing BEVs by 2019/20. The Germans are at it too with BMW and MB likely taking the lead with VW very much behind promising something by 2025. With AWD, I understand that...

    Tesla shall be smart D-er. & AP shall be free!

    Like any other ICE (SUV OR REGULAR AWD) car: D - can be selectable from front, rear to 4wd by software control base on the driving condition. Like if on boring long distance driving, 2wd is good enogh, energy saving and range can also be much better than all time AWD. AP is not a hardware, for...

    Rear uneven tire wear caused be less of an issue with the new AWD Model S 85D or P85D

    Does anyone know with the announcement of the AWD Model S "D", if the uneven tire wear from the cambering will now also cause the same issue on the front tires, or will the tires wear more evenly (i.e last longer) because the torque will be distributed more equally? I have friends who have the...
