@scaesare - It's hard for many to understand because they haven't tried those scenarios. I myself didn't understand the cold weather challenges until I had to spend this winter in Wisconsin. @ecarfan - I spend winters in Mammoth (base elevation 8000') and I thought I understood cold. But I didn't - it doesn't get to 10-20 below zero Fahrenheit in Mammoth - which we had for 10-14 straight days here recently. At these below zero temps the seat heaters aren't enough. To conserve range I was bundled up like an Eskimo. My feet were frozen unless I put arctic boots on. Totally crazy. Even the car's air heater was insufficient. The cars have a ways to go. This isn't a small crowd there are entire states subject to these temps every winter + Canada. The 100 is almost there but I'm hoping for a 120 next year. Probably won't happen but maybe they'll ramp up battery capacity faster than we predict. I can hope.
