Noticing cold weather charging in San Diego is impacting charging levels in San Diego

[OldPro]

Noticing night time charging at home is slightly impacted when low is less than less than 40 degrees at night. Wife is concerned (Her Tesla)
Me, not so much

I would be concerned if a charge is not enough to get me to the destination.

What does this even mean?

It means wife's Tesla is not getting regular charging levels. I'll try and limit my nightly JD on the rocks intake before I post!

Something is amiss.. it's not 'that' cold in SD even now... it has been in the high 30's at night at worst. Do you have notifications on your app for when the charge is complete? You could see the range when then charge was finished. The car is still getting charged appropriately... you are probably losing a few (maybe a bit more than a few depending on how long the gap is from charge complete to driving) miles with the lower temperatures... it really shouldn't matter. You could schedule the charge to end closer to when you start driving if it helps.
The folks in the Midwest are experiencing temps 50 degrees colder, it's embarrassing to call our weather "cold"

How do these folks think the tesla owners in Canada or Scandinavia charge their cars?

We charged our Y in Spokane when it was -12°F last week, no issues. Took a bit to warm up the battery, maybe 20 minutes before it was up to 48 amps.

40F is nothing, you shouldn't notice any difference.

I still don’t know what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit more about what you’re seeing and why you think it’s not normal? Charging where? With what equipment?

My best guess is that the car is charging up to his set level, but by morning, the battery has cooled enough to show something lower...like 78% instead of 80%.

San Diego is in a crazy deep freeze. Its actually reached high 30 degrees this winter!!!

My charging at home this last week has all been below 0 degrees. Charges just fine....

Seems to be what the OP meant? I regularly see +\- a couple % and not just when cold. No big deal.

Home charging, usually we get 80% at around 250 miles. Recently at night when it's been colder we have been getting less. I think she has been leaving the Sentry Mode on. That could be it in part? Not all that concerned. Maybe just a glitch?
