I highly disagree with this statement. I've owned a Tesla Model S since 2014, In a northern/cold climate. Yes, cold affects range, but not that much; you have to plan for it if you want to do a cold-weather road trip. For my everyday driving, you know, home->work->home, home->store->home, and the like, I NEVER have to think about range or recharging. For me, it is a much better experience than a gas car could provide. I pre-heat my car in the garage, have charging on auto, get in the car, and go. I never even have to scrape ice off the windshield when it's left outside because I'll turn on the heater 20 minutes before I plan on going. As for reliability... Tesla's aren't well-known for reliability, but I'm still driving my 2014 car; it got a handful of warranty issues fixed, and since it's been out of warranty, I've only had to replace the 12v battery. This car is far less maintenance than any I've previously owned.
