It’s strange that people’s experiences are so varied with EVs in cold weather. Here it’s 14F right now and my Model Y is charging at 30 mph (versus 32 mph in warm weather). Driving 120 miles this morning at 11F used maybe 10% more energy than normal. The doors, though, we’re quite sticky and frustrating to open.

- linsomniac 4y agoHow long did the battery sit in 14F after driving 120 miles? If I charge right after a 120 mile trip, that'd be fine. Also, are you saying the car is in 14F, or it is 14F outside and your car is in the garage? My car is outside (I use my garage as a shop).
- joshuanapoli 4y agoI park outside. My garage is also a shop. I guess that I didn’t let the car soak in the cold snap, last week; I usually plug it in when I get home, since this is more convenient for me.
- davedx 4y agoThe Model Y has a heat pump, that helps a lot. That being said I’ve not noticed charging issues with my Model 3, this is my 3rd winter, last week we regularly had -7 C in the night. Does seem to be a lot of variability
