According to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Tesla will introduce an AWD Model S next year. Tesla is working on an all-wheel drive platform for the upcoming Model X SUV, and offering an AWD Model S will allow them to develop their all-wheel drive system.

And I just bought one.

AWD is great for expanding marketshare like crazy.

Nope, but I would now.

As much as the current one is good, I like AWD assurance sometimes.

That and I could actually lease a sucker and not have it ruin me.

Great news. Now build those charging/exchange stations.

Yeah man, I was following a Model S around a hairpin and its rear wheels spun a little on the exit, no joke.

Are there any other AWD EVs?

R18? I don't think there are any, at least not off the top of my head.

With an independent motor on each corner, I imagine some tuning could make it into a GT-R fighter.

The Mercedes SLS Electric Drive is AWD. Also, while not exclusively electric, the Porsche 918 has electric motors at all four corners.
