Sorry for the hijacking, but if you read all of the posts at least about FWD, RWD, AWD you see they were about the possibility of an ID4 purchase.
I would buy the non AWD versions of an ID4 or any Tesla if they were FWD not RWD. As they both come in AWD versions it wouldn't be that hard to make all 3, FWD, RWD, and AWD.
I also will always pay up to $5000 more for an AWD vs FWD option, pickup, van, car, whatever. For one, the non AWD versions of most of those have terrible resale where I live. The last new anything I bought was a 2003 Dodge Ram and I made the mistake "saving" $3500 by ordering a 2wd. Also note I ordered it, because the dealer refused to stock a single one. I sould have listened to them because when I sold it I had to list it nationwide and it took a $1200 transport ride to Tennessee to find a 2wd buyer on a cherry 3 year old truck with 17,000 miles on it. Why low miles? Because it was useless for 10 months of that time. We tried to pick up a mattress one winter and needed a tow back up the hill to our house. Don't get me wrong, I bought it as a toy to make a cool sport truck out of it, so popular in the 2000s. I traded in a 2wd Dodge Dakota RT to get it. I actually did drive that Dakota all winter. Sandbags, 4 studded tires on smaller wheels, I had chains for when it got really bad. I even took it hunting up on forest service roads in a foot of fresh snow on top of hard packed snow. Making it work is one thing, living life easy with a Subaru or Jeep is another.
