I was in Atlanta during snowpocalypse of 2011. Georgia had TONS of Nissan Leafs because of a tax incentive that made it close to $0 to lease it. The highway had lots of stranded leafs because the battery died due to heating the car.
- chc 6y agoThat isn't really germane to a conversation about Tesla cars. The lowest-range cars Tesla ever made had more than double the battery capacity of a 2011 Leaf (and unlike the 2011 Leaf, they all have battery-warming tech).
- fma 6y agoThe parent I replied to was discussing the cons of electric vehicles vs ICE cars....so, very germane. My comment was also referring to the drain on the battery due to resistive heating used to warm up the cabin...not range efficiency on the battery due to cold temperature. My Googling shows that Tesla went away from resistive to heat pump in the model Y...so, I think my comment is germane to Tesla except model Y.
