    Have you wondered whether the RWD Tesla Model 3 SR+ can handle winter and ice? How about hills that make some front wheel drive cars tremble? Watch as we compare the rear wheel drive Model 3 SR+ (Rocky) with a front wheel drive VW GTI. The Tesla Model 3 has Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3’s and the VW has winter tires, but what will each make of a steep incline on ice and snow. How does a rear wheel drive electric motor handle it? Is it better in a front wheel drive car with the weight of the engine in the front? Enjoy the video!
    We went electric here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with Rocky, a Red Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus!
    This channel is dedicated to addressing both the advantages and some of the challenges of going electric here in Alberta. We are having fun doing this and are producing regular content focussing on the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus.

    As opposed to the hundreds of videos scientific testings on tracks, and on extreme conditions, this video shows what the real life serves you and it's EXACTLY what i was looking for !! Thanks for putting this together guys :D

    This is truly amazing to see a rear wheel drive car do this.

    Nothing surpasses the excitement of once being stuck then being able to move again 😅. Great video!

    I'm really blown away at the performance of your Tesla. Stopping on a hill with snow and you made it to the top is amazing.

    Really appreciate you guys putting this content together - that is one crazy hill, especially to stop halfway up in the snow.

    It was great to see a video like this. Nit many out there showing winter driving with the RWD Model 3 and maybe the only one comparing winter driving to a GTI. Ive owned a Golf, 2 GTIs, a Passat AWD and a Golf R AWD. All have been excellent in the snow but the two AWDs are the kind to never get stuck.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video. I have a performance Model 3, and my wife wants a tesla now (obviously lol). Your video helped prove that RWD Model Y is sufficient for our needs. 🙏😁

    Thank you guys you are the best !! Purchased Tesla y 2021 RWD standard range 2 weeks ago and now I can sleep better 😀 I thought my RWD driving will be impossible in the winter and now you just proved it is better than FWD if not as good as AWD

    This video settled me to get Model Y confidently after you showed how a Model 3 rear-wheel drive performs in uphill with calgary winter snow. Thanks!
