The idea of an electric vehicle for snow/bad weather is an oxymoron. Batteries lose their charge way, way faster in cold weather and charge even slower.
Second, off road (even non-serious) is stupid amounts of stress on the suspension due to the weight of the batteries. The vehicle would be destroyed quickly.
I would get a Lexus lx or infinity q80 (2025) for 100k range.
I live in a ski town - Rivians and Teslas are very popular and do surprisingly well in the snow. Tesla doesn't have enough ground clearance for a super steep driveway, but it is otherwise fine on snowy roads. The Rivian SUV has plenty of ground clearance, so it's good everywhere in the snow.
