The majority of Americans do not live in areas that get below 20F average for extended periods of time. Your particular use case is atypical, especially for EV buyers, so it isn't shown.

As a Canadian I guess data from events that Americans rarely experience isn't really that useful or interesting.

  Northern Minnesota and North Dakota are pretty cold, not to mention parts of Alaska.

  If you want data on outside-the-normal situations, you shouldn't expect it to come from blogs or news posts targeted at average users. Here's a more technical blog with some data on lower temps based on telematics driving data: https://www.geotab.com/blog/ev-range/ https://www.geotab.com/blog/ev-range/

> Your particular use case is atypical Norwegians alone account for ~5-10% of Tesla's global sales in recent years. I don't think it's far fetched to assume that at least one tenth of all Tesla vehicles (and other EV vehicles in that price class) are driven in areas that do routinely experience longer periods below that temperature. It's likely much more than that, because in Europe you can easily find these temperatures many places far south of Norway.

  Did you even bother to look up average temperatures by month in the populous parts of Norway before posting this? It doesn't get that cold: https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/norway/oslo https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/norway/oslo

    I suppose what you got there is an average of averages over multiple years. It absolutely does get that cold: For most of January 2021 the average daily temperature was below 20F in Oslo (21/31 days), dropping as low as 3F average and 0F for the lowest recorded temperature. February 2021 wasn't much warmer, only creeping above 20F in the second half. https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/no/gardermoen/ENGM/date/2021-1 https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/no/gardermoen/E... https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/no/gardermoen/ENGM/date/2021-2 https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/no/gardermoen/E...
