I’ve got a RWD extended range Permium on order, but lately I’ve been wondering whether I ought to switch it for an eAWD version. I’m not especially concerned with the relative power available, but I am interested in how well the car will handle.
My original reasoning for getting the RWD version drew upon my generally good experience driving RWD ICE cars. As I understand it, hitting the gas on a RWD car tends to take weight off the front wheels, to the detriment of your steering traction, but the heavy weight of the engine tends to counter this. The RWD MME doesn’t have a heavy engine in the frunk, so I wonder if my experience with RWD ICE cars isn’t leading me astray, and I might be happier with the extra weight and torque up front… Of course, the MME does have a big old battery between the axles, so maybe it all comes out in the wash.
Has anyone done the comparison between the different flavors of MME drivetrains?
