On that topic: the selection of the driven wheels probably matters less than people think. The most important factor is the tires. Want winter traction? Buy winter tires. In modern cars Active Stability Control (ASC) is effective in eliminating oversteer, no matter what the drivetrain setup is. Traction at stop lights would favor RWD when a car has near 50/50 weight distribution (I don't know what the Model 3 is but would guess it's close). RWD makes the car simpler and with modern ASC is no less safe for the average driver than FWD. I'd guess that traction in a Model 3 would slightly favor RWD but tires matter more.
