Yeah, I call BS on "they are awful in the snow". I live in Colorado, and have spent 40 years driving Subarus and Audi Quattros. My Tesla Model S is at least as capable in the snow as those. I attribute much of that to having two independent motors so it doesn't have to play any tricks with center differentials or torsen availability. Though I will admit that my B6 Audi S4 with Blizzaks and traction control off was a lot of fun in the snow.
