Funny, because at 7:00 the guys mention that a couple of ice cars of relatives have failed to start in these conditions. Also they mention that there should be many with starting problems 'all over New England'.
Engine oils, too. If cold weather oil is not used, when any normal winter day could of course be a problem.
Dont know the last time i went further than 100 miles to go skiiing or some other trip without needing a fillup or charge for that matter. SR works just fineThis isn't as bad as other EVs but certainly helps with the decision to get LR instead of SR. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with a 140 mile range on a winter road trip.

You can't know it works 'just fine' when it doesn't even exist. The temp drop doesn't factor in other losses such as driving uphill for numerous miles which would be typical when getting to many ski areas.
Some ski resort locations would be overnight stays with no ability to charge.... or some kind of crowded charger situation.
Below -10F is worth chatting about around here.3 to 5F is - freaking deep freeze, arctic like
Or poor grounding/connections.The only cars that wouldn't be starting at 3F or 5F are those that have poor batteries or weak starters.
That's true, although if one used an engine block heater not such a big deal.
Engine block heater is similar crutch to Tesla's "keep the car plugged in when it's cold" methodology.
At Model S | Tesla Deutschland you can see how much range you win/lose because of temperature for the model S (see picture below in your language).those numbers are seriously shocking to me.
I haven`t really kept up with the battery tech and didn`t know that range loss in cold climate was still such a huge issue....
That cuts a big hole in the efficiency calculation in 3+ months of the year where I live.
hmmm
~20-25% loss according to the Tesla Calculator.At Model S | Tesla Deutschland you can see how much range you win/lose because of temperature for the model S (see picture below in your language).
For the 3 the percentage range loss will probably be about the same although the batteryheating for 3 and S/X are different. I guess the real world numbers may differ, but then it also depends on your typical situation.
Maybe the best thing you could do is ask a current S owner in your part of the country about their range loss due to low temperature. Then you get an idea of the real world percentage.
Like I said, ask an owner in your region. He might give you some advice or tell you exactly how much he loses and it might be less than you expect. F.e. I heard from a Dutch guy who stated he'd never lost more than 10% in cold weather by pre-heating.~20-25% loss according to the Tesla Calculator.
Better than the reported 30+% here but still
This question is VERY driver dependent, mostly because cabin heating is such an energy hog on long drives and some people use defrost rather than scrape the windshield.Like I said, ask an owner in your region. He might give you some advice or tell you exactly how much he loses and it might be less than you expect. F.e. I heard from a Dutch guy who stated he'd never lost more than 10% in cold weather by pre-heating.
Was 1F today for the high. Leaf and S behaved fine, neighbor's Cube didn't want to start at all. It's easy to say that properly maintained ICE start just fine but not everyone stays on top of these things. EVs can have cold weather issues too but coming out of your house in a hurry to get to work and having them not start is pretty rare.
