The difference is that a traditional RWD car has a heavy engine in the front, but is being pushed from the back where none of the weight is. So lack of traction and fish tailing is the obvious result.
However, I think a RWD electric car would have less problems with traction (and thus, fish tailing), since the weight is distributed over the length of the car more evenly.
I think push vs pull is legit, but I don't think it would be as much of a problem when all the weight isn't in the front. I'd be interested to hear from some Tesla owners who drive RWD in the snow.
