I thought that AWD provided the best range because you can split the work between the motors? Single motor Model 3 shows 325mi while dual is 310mi estimated range.

Model 3 partial permanent magnet induction motor, especially with silicon carbide inverter, is so efficient that it outdoes two induction motors. If we could decouple forward induction motor to avoid spin losses, then range of dual might be higher, but that’s a lot of complexity.
