You bet Model 3 won't fare much better in Ontario winter. My coworker has a model 3 without heat pump. Once he took his family to Quebec on a winter day, normal one. As he described outside temperature was -5 Celsius, Wind actually blowing in favor of them. But for every 2 hours of highway...

Well I live in suburbs of Toronto. It is quite easy to find historical weather in Toronto as well as Southern Ontario. I am actually not trying to "bend the number", but to ask for a typical winter day in southern Ontario is too much? 20F degrees with head wind 20 mph is very common in winter...

Many gas cars can run 500 miles on a full tank although refilling just takes a fraction of the time an EV owner spending on recharging on the road. There are reasons for that. I do care when range is cut to 60% during winter. I do care cruising with highway speed will result in charging 45min...

Your reasoning is more plausible than Elon's:)

It is a magic since another company did stuff 130KWH into a similar sized sedan and Tesla did not although it originally intended to and later on, for whatever reasons (technical or financial) refrained from it. Remember the timing of the announcing Plaid+? Right after Lucid Air's specs came...

Well, the problem is Lucid does not have 4680 and yet it has the prototype (or a pre-prod version) which runs 500 mile real world on a charge. What about Tesla? it cancelled Plaid+ with an unconvincing reason (at least to me). Is it because Tesla does not want to make the car or is it because...

I drive a 2015 MS and averaged 163wh/km if counting from day one.

2nd TessP100D. FSD has had too many hypes and few have come true. Today it is still barely more than an adaptive cruise control. I have seen how it wandered in a private parking lot trying to find the owner. So I told myself: forget about it until 3 years after it is released if it ever will be...

Range is king, so Tri..

I will. Tesla's initial qualify has always been bad. Look at all four models in production

I put my money on >200KWH for tri-motor if Tesla is really going to have a EPA of 500 miles.

I'd second Iwantmy3 and Sak. i want nice cars with the capability of long drive. I have driven to Florida twice now, let alone other long trips such as to Quebec. Whereas my S90D serves well under most situations, it still lacks the speed on road trips which take 20% longer than an ICE. Although...

Ygritte or Melisandre?

A bigger pack is long overdue
