Not that facts matter to the EV-h8r crowd, but the fact is I use my M3 to go up to the mountains skiing pretty much every weekend. No issues. I’ve driven it in -15°C temps up at Mammoth and it sat overnight cold soaking in sub-zero (-18°C) temps overnight. Got in the next morning and drove it with no problem.
The only issue I ever ran into was a “fail to charge” at the supercharger (again up in Mammoth). I drove the car around for about 10 minutes with the preconditioning active and tried again, no problem.
EV problems are overstated. Can they go everywhere? No. But neither can ICE vehicles. If you’re up in northern Minnesota without a block heater in winter, you aren’t getting your car or truck started either. There’s a reason vehicles in Alaska and Alberta are left running or parked in heated garages. Everything has limits.
