How much longer? NY Times' Tesla test drive saw loss of over 55 miles in range just sitting overnight, which was backed up by the data in Elon Musk's rebuttal [1] (yet ignored by him...)
Anyway, my experience with blizzards is that it's not unusual for the power to commercial districts and gas stations to be restored within a day, yet for some residential areas to remain without power a week later. Plus, more gas stations are installing generators. [2]
