Snow & ice -- how will RWD Cybertruck single motor perform?

[Crissa]

Because it has adjustable suspension, it will be able to shift its weight back to front as needed.

So more balanced may be better.

Hmm, this thread has me asking another question. What do we thing the front to back weight distribution will be for the CT? I've always been under the impression that, in general, the best distribution is 50-50. Someone correct me if that isn't true. If true, the next question is, Is the CT distributed 50-50 when empty? Or is it designed front heavy / rear light so that when you add payload to the rear it becomes 50-50?

DIscuss...

Cybertruck will be nearly 50/50 front/rear when empty but probably biased slightly to the front. Compared to an ICE pickup it will seem perfectly balanced empty. With a big load it will be more like a traditional pickup, much heavier over the rear wheels. Optimum AWD snow and ice handling will probably happen with about 300-500 lbs. in the bed to give it a mild weight bias to the rear. That ideal number will be higher for the RWD single motor.

I drove for years in 12"+ snow storms with a manual transmission geo metro and had no problems. The CT will do fine.
