Canada is cold. Every major city in the country is full of Teslas. I’ve been driving mine for 6 years and have the same experience as the Montana commenter. In fact so much better than a gas car that freezes up and takes time to warm up.

It’s simply not a concern. Only a range reduction. A non-issue.



you live in a city and never leave it. its been noted that people in stockholm have actually collectively forgotten how to prevent, recognize and deal with frostbite because all they ever do is walk from a heated car cabin to a heated building. so you might say that these gloves are goid for cold because people wear them in stockholm… but youd get frostbite immediately in the same temperature when youre outside the city and the wind is blowing hard. people in stockholm drive from one charger to another and return home every 10 hours. and during their journey they are never more than 2 minutes away from help/rescue. during a midwest storm, tens or hundreds of miles away from anyone who can help, in temps lower than stockholm ever sees, with high wind sucking the heat out of anything it touches, you do not want a battery electric vehicle. you want hydrocarbon whether its ice or a range extender.


> major city

montana is very spread out
