I don’t have a Tesla yet. What happens if I don’t have a place to plug in at work and it’s out in -30 for 8 hours unplugged? This isn’t ideal obviously. Is it problematic though?
This is stupid but my commute is literally only 4 minutes so are short drives in the cold bad? Do I need to let it get completely warm?
Short answer: this is not a problem. It’s what I do every day.
Thanks, does it burn much juice just sitting there keeping itself warm when it’s that cold out? I’m assuming the battery does something to keep itself from getting too cold. That could be wrong though.
Yes they do. Just. If it’s super cold, don’t count on gaining any significant amount of charge, but you will maintain your battery and current state of charge.Question. So most longer term parking areas that experience -30C provide 110V plugs in order to make ICE block heaters happy, does that provide enough amps to keep your Tesla battery warm and happy? Not expecting to charge much in this situation btw.
Don't many of those block heater plugs cycle the power on and off?
