With "normal" cars, there are two differences between front and rear wheel drive: one is the tendency to under vs oversteer, which does not affect your ability to get going. The other is the fact that front-wheel drive cars have the weight of that heavy IC engine over the driven wheels, giving more traction. Grandparent was pointing out that's not the case with a Tesla. When I grew up in Sweden everyone had RWD cars and got around fine. But it was common to put some sand bags or lead shot in the trunk to get more weight on the rear wheels. The other thing you need are real snow tires.
