Is the Tesla SUV all-wheel drive?

Teslas are my dream car, and I’m finally in a position where I can afford one. I’m a long-time SUV driver, so that’s what I’d go for in a Tesla, but I’m worried it won’t hold up in my city’s harsh winter weather conditions. Does the Tesla SUV come with all-wheel drive?

Tesla’s SUV, the
Model Y
, does in fact have all-wheel drive (AWD) as a standard feature, which is powered by two independent electric motors that monitor and control vehicle torque in both the front and rear tires.
The result is smooth handling, strong traction, and security in inclement weather conditions on or off the road.
All-wheel drive is one way Tesla’s Model Y maximizes your safety on the road. But having the right

can also keep you and your vehicle protected. That’s why the
