Don't be so sure. Rear wheel drive is just fine in a truck if you fill the bed with firewood. This is an EV, so I would expect they put a lot of batteries under the bed and so have good weight on the back wheels.

Of course I'm waiting for real world reports, but I'm not going to rule it out yet.

"Just fine" lol. Alright let's go straight back to being 16 years old and doing ghetto shit for the sake of it.

AWD is ubiquitous nowadays. Can get it on entry level vehicles as an option. Electric vehicles are way simpler, as in they could simply strap a motor to the front wheels without much complication.

I already have a 4WD SUV. 4WD is simply superior in the snow, even if I could suffer and survive with RWD.
