Clearly you haven't read my comment history, I'm a huge Tesla critic. But this isn't that. This is just EV FUD. Most vehicles have trouble in -45°C.

- glitchc 3y agoWhy would I read your comment history? Have you read mine? Trouble starting perhaps, definitely not trouble running once started. Here the Teslas are too cold to even be refueled.

- Skunkleton 3y agoYou have to warm them up, but let’s not pretend that EV and ICE are equally impacted by the cold.
- mrguyorama 3y ago-45C is something that would give pause to most ICE vehicles. Once you actually got it running sure it would be mostly fine and you could use the full range of the fuel onboard, but normal oil gets THICK at that temp, normal car batteries get pathetic, and your block will literally freeze (and crack open!) if you use common ICE antifreeze, which often only protects down to about -34F. Anything lower is a more specialized product. Cars have had batteries in them that struggle at low temps for about a century. It's not something the average car user should be unfamiliar with.
