Model S 75D owner from Chicagoland

Hi guys. This is what my car looked like shortly after taking delivery in March 2016. Wanted to post a question in the forum but thought I would introduce myself first ha ha.

I live in Philadelphia, it gets cold here, but no where as cold as Chicago, tell us how you have used the car in the cold there.

Car drives and handles great in the snow here. I have been doing an annual winter wheel swap to switch out the 21" turbines with 19" slipstream tire/wheel package with no issues. My relatives up north in Wisconsin are very impressed by the car's ability to drive uphill in snow from a complete stop. I even left the car outside in a parking lot a year ago for a couple of weeks while we were vacationing and it had plenty of charge left when we came back, despite Chicago being in a deep freeze as evidenced by the snowflake icon showing in the app.

Here is the car charging at my dad's house in Wisconsin using a 240v outlet he put in for my sister's RV. I have a special adapter I use only for charging at this location:

This is me driving on a road behind my dad's house, had no issues with traction on this road or taking the car offroad and driving through the adjacent snow covered field:
