My understanding is rear motor preferred until loss of traction or demand for excess power, then front used. Hwy driving with range mode on may prefer front motorDoes car use RWD mainly and only AWD when needed in order to keep range?.

This is, beyond the steady footing in heavy rain, is what tipped me to AWD. Judging by regen across prior Teslas, the AWD should have a faster lead into regen. You can't regen brake as fast with rear wheels only because there is a natural weight transfer back to front when de-accelerating.AWD also gives you regenerative braking from all 4 wheels, not just the rear two.
Have seen conflicting opinions on tire wear. There's an argument for less tire wear with AWD, but would like to hear actual comparative experience from S owners.
