Getting it wrong implies they cared to investigate the cause to begin with, before coming up with those headlines. It's not the first time they're putting out such misleading pieces when it comes to Tesla.
Without knowing anything about EVs, a layperson can see that when most Teslas (and other EVs) are fine, and the problematic cases are with folks trying to charge at public chargers, it must have to do with those chargers and not the "batteries dying in the cold".
- cma 3y agoPhantom drain though supposedly means if you can't charge a Tesla's main battery in time it may damage the low-voltage battery: > If you allow the Battery to discharge to 0%, other components may become damaged or require replacement (for example, the low voltage battery). In these cases, you are responsible for repair and/or transporting expenses. Discharge-related expenses are not covered by the warranty or under the Roadside Assistance policy.
- Kirby64 3y agoIf you discharge the high voltage battery to 0, you’ve got much bigger problems than potentially needing to replace the low voltage battery. Leaving the high voltage battery at 0 is terrible for it as well, which is much more expensive to replace. Unless you’re leaving the car in that state for days, I don’t anticipate that you’d have any real damage to anything though.
