I would love to see an AWD MS soon, but just remember that aliasing of the spoke motion with the video frame rate can create all sorts of apparent wheel spin, either direction...

Agreed. I choose to believe it is the AWD (OK I HOPE it is the AWD) :wink:

Due to this effect, it looks like the rear wheel is spinning backwards slowly. I suspect the rear wheal is actually spinning forward a lot faster than the front wheel, which is normal for a drifting rear wheel drive car.

Could just be a corporate happy snow-driving video like before.
Ice tracks are kind of a thing over there: Below Zero Ice Driving | BELOW ZERO launched its ice driving packages in Norway in 2005 and since then has become one of the leading ice driving experience providers in Scandinavia.
The overhead shot looks rear wheel drive. The slo-motion front "drifting" shot is inconclusive. As an editor-- trust me, we can make anything look like anything by shot selection, cropping, or slow motion.

It's tough to say from this video, but it does NOT look like an AWD drift.
I drive like this every time i get chance, very mild and peaceful rwd oversteer
However, i'd be thrilled if MS came in AWD form

I *think* the front wheels are ejecting snow towards the rear. That will only occur if the front wheels are rotating faster than if they were simply rolling, and indicates powered front wheels.
But it isn't entirely easy to tell, because the snow needs to be moving towards the rear relative to the ground, while it will be moving towards the rear relative to the car, regardless of whether the front wheels are powered. If someone could go through it frame by frame and try to look at the movements of the snow particles, I'm sure we would have our answer.

Seems like a regular event in Åre, Sweden on February 19th.

Looks like you just disproved the AWD theory. The clips here are the same as those in the Tesla tweet. Notice the Roadster has the same snow spray off the front tires....
