The extra weight of EVs could be off set by good tires, but I'm just not sure what is available for those huge wheels Tesla has. An EV that has more rubber on the tires can certainly perform well. If a full size truck with 4x4 can handle well in the snow with A/T tires, an EV can too with good A/S tires.

I have been driving EV's through 5 winters, and they are equal or better. They have traction control that is far better than what is possible in an ICE car.
Good winter tires are much more important than 4WD or AWD.
