[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me again with the two EVs. I will add the the Tesla had a tough time moving up in the driveway this morning, but it's rear wheel drive and probably nearing the end life for it's tires. Same with any RWD car.

[b]Remember when 95 was a s*show that one time--it was the Tesla drivers that stayed warmest. Yes your range is less in cold but if traveling longer than an hour in the cold just charge up to full at your house before you leave[/b].[/quote]

Sure, until your charge runs out.  Then the car is stuck until it can get a charge, which will take considerably longer than dumping 2 gallons of gas into it.

We're going to have 1 EV and one ICE car, and just like a PP said, I imagine most people will do the same.  [/quote]

The Tesla will hold a charge a long time while not moving. Camping mode overnight used maybe 20 miles worth of range in fairly cold conditions.

I think the newer cars have battery warmers for the battery, our model 3 is one of the older ones.   And yes, extremely cold temps with no garage drain the battery. We took it a few years back to the great wolf in PA and it was in the teens there. Had to charge it once a day at the superchargers around the corner. It wasn’t a big deal.  Mostly we charge at home in our garage. [/quote]
