You should expect at least 50% reduction in real-world range due to decreased battery efficiency, increased need for heating, increased vampire battery drain.

I am able to avoid this by timing my charging to end proximate to the time I will use the car.One thing about very cold (<10F) weather is that when you start out after the car has been cold soaked, the battery state looks terrifyingly low.
I had a BMW i3 before and the range loss in winter is similar.1. Yes, you lose rated range in the cold. Welcome to owning an EV.
2. There's no way it's "at least 50%" unless you like the interior at 90 degrees and drive 90 mph.
This can’t be accurate. I will give you one example. Normally if I charge to 90% the previous day and drive to work for 25 miles I would have 80-81% left in summer. Now in 30-40F temperature, I will lose 3-4% battery overnight and will have 72-73% left after driving to work. I am only heating to 64F in my car.This FUD gets posted every winter.
Here is REAL WORLD data showing typical range loss of about:
40% below 0F (limited data, however)
30% 0-10F
20% 10-30F
10%-15% above 30F

Can you do math? I am using almost double battery capacity for the same driving.Your example almost matched what he posted exactly. How is it not accurate?
