> Monterrey was cool and foggy...
Leading image from the article article taken in Monterrey neither foggy nor cool looking, instead appears as what would pass for summer in many parts of Europe and Canada.
- Johnny555 10y agoWhile foggy Monterey weather may pass for summer in many parts of Europe and Canada, they weren't in Europe or Canada, they were in Monterey. Though I'm not sure what "cool looking" weather looks like in a photo of an automobile with no living creature around. If you don't believe they saw fog, the video included with the article shows the fog when he's crossing Bixby Bridge, about 30 minutes south of Monterey - skip to the 30 second mark.
- kagamine 10y agoJust saying that the mileage is not going to be close to what they are advertising in a cold climate.
- Johnny555 10y agoTesla owners report about a 20% drop in range in cold weather. The Detroit Free Press got about half way through a test in freezing (11F/-11C) temperatures with the Bolt before getting rear ended, but they were on track to go 200 miles. Whether the mileage is 240, 200, or 180, that's still more than enough for most people to commute multiple days. Around 70% of US drivers have a one way commute of 15 miles or less. http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/mark-phelan/2016/12/17/chevrolet-bolt-fender-bender-accident/95481484/ http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/mark-phelan/2016/12/17...
- Hydraulix989 10y agoWhy aren't Bolt batteries nearly as affected as Tesla batteries? It seems like they would be bound by the same physics laws?
- Johnny555 10y agoI think they are equally affected -- 200 miles is about 20% less than the good weather range of 238 miles.
