[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to warn you, OP, but EVs get their worst mileage in cold weather.[/quote]

This is largely a myth put out by rightwingers to trash EV’s in favor of ICE vehicles. It’s a republican lie. [/quote]

ID4 owner and this is not a myth or a lie—we did a drive on Saturday and it used about 30% more than in warmer conditions (single digit temps vs 40s).[/quote]

I really doubt this. [/quote]

+1. I have the ID.4 Pro S and just did a two-hour drive this morning, with MD temps ranging from 29 to 38 (according to my Weather Channel app). The mileage was only slightly worse than what I normally get.[/quote]

If you’re running the heat, it’ll pull your range down faster — we have the Pro S and can usually go without a lot of heating, thanks to the heated seats and steering wheel, but I do feel bad freezing my kids in the back seat, so I wind up putting the climate control on. For a winter drive mostly at highway speeds, I assume I’ll get around 200 miles for a full charge as opposed to 250 it’s rated for.[/quote]
Temps 29 - 38 degrees aren't really that cold.  I'm the prior PP, and it was 5 to 16 degrees when we were driving to Wisp to ski.  Our range was terrible.  No conspiracy here.  We stopped twice to charge.

We normally love our extended range Tesla, but won't take it skiing again.[/quote]
