Again, you don't seem to understand the nature of facts. The fact that your personal experience (at limited low temperatures) was positive does not say anything about what will happen at lower temps for other cars at other locations. Why do you not understand this important issue?

That's called "anecdotal" and is not a good basis for establishing facts.

So the only point you dispute is the temperature where a continuous charging connection is required? Where do you find info that says the car will not heat the battery if not plugged in? I'd like to read the entire text. A google search on that text did not find anything useful. The theft...

In one of the threads a person posted a data display from his car that showed the heating threshold was just below 20 degrees F. He said the value can range between -20F and 20F "depending" on factors he did not list. Level 1 and level 2 EVSE have little to do with safety. The charger is in...

Already contacted the airport I'm currently using. They replied by telling me about the level 2 and 3 chargers they've installed with government grants. Oh well.

Actually, this thread is about providing inexpensive level 1 charging at places like airports where EVs park for weeks. Does anyone have ideas on how to get airports to provide such charging facilities?

I'm not "demanding" anything. I'm saying there is no point in talking about generalities since that won't help when my car is bricked. If you are unhappy with the conversation, please do not participate. I think you are being a bit pedantic. I especially like that you cite manufacturing...

Yes, well, people say lots of stuff. I'm looking for the information to support such a claim. I believe I saw someone post that the battery self heating comes on somewhere between -20F and 20F. 20F is pretty common around here. I have no reason to think the car can protect the battery by...

I carry a sweater on the plane. I still freeze at one end and can't stand having it touching me on the other. :o

When it gets to -40 you can drop the C or F.

I'm in a region where it won't reach 20 °F unless I'm in a walk in freezer, but the car is in Maryland. 20 °F is exactly the sort of very cold night I'm concerned about. I've seen half a week of such temperatures. My heating bill got to $60 a night. Any idea how much energy it would take...

So you live in a world where "It's potentially detrimental" is different from bad? Do you live in Washington, DC? Where I live we consider "detrimental" to be bad. Then you use "insignificant". In my world, if it's insignificant, it wouldn't even be discussed except to say, "pffft, it's...

I've never seen anyone distinguish between the two losses of battery charge. From what I know about lithium cells in general, there is very, very little loss of charge if nothing is connected to them. So there is at least one if not two orders of magnitude difference between what YOU call...

Yes, I'm trying to make sure I CAN drive when I return from the tropics to a frozen metro area.

Wow! So the suggestion that it's ok to charge to 90% is bad and leaving it plugged every day is bad and of course the combination of the two is bad. So we need to not listen to Tesla about the care and feeding of our cars? How about Tesla gives us useful info rather than sound bites? Tell...
