Is the Tesla Model Y AWD?
I was looking into buying a Tesla, but I’m not exactly sure which model is best for my needs. I’m on somewhat of a limited budget, so the Tesla Model Y seems like a decent option. Does the Tesla Model Y come with AWD?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
If you want to go electric on a budget, the Model Y is affordable and also offers Tesla’s propriety all-wheel-drive system. The AWD system features two independent electric motors that accurately provide on-demand torque to each wheel, instantly enhancing stability control, traction, and handling.
When you pair this drivetrain with a 480-horsepower powertrain, you get a car that can go from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds while also boasting superior capability in snow, mud, rain, and off-road situations.
