Yes, you are being picky. AWD is not a MUST! No need for it really. RWD is perfectly good with Tesla vehicles because of the weight and traction with the direct drive tranny. I had an 85 for three years and drove in the harshest Winter conditions with ice and hills with no problems at all. AWD was put in only because people started complaining that they MUST have it since their Audi's and Benz's had it and threatened to not buy a Tesla unless it was offered. Tesla capitulated to their demands. AWD is just marketing material. The only advantage is that it extends your range a little and under the most extreme conditions, might help out if you got into a sticky situation.
I'm just saying, be happy with a RWD, you won't regret it!
I'm sorry, but looking back on this thread, you already mentioned this back on August 3rd. I think the OP got your point though. LOL
