Assuming full charge at 78 kwh available, that is 31 hours worth of power being stranded keeping the car warm. Again note that is with a PTC heating system. Newer Tesla's use heat pump's which consume less power so that 31 hours will be higher. He did another test at -8 C with a newer Model 3 with the heat pump and found it consumed 1.3 kw per hour. Using that example above, that is now 60 hours worth of power sitting stranded with a full battery. Now lets take an idling engine. Now like heat pump vs PTC, it all depends on size of the engine. But lets assume it's around 2.0 liters and a consumption of .33 gallons per hour idling. A car of the Tesla Model 3's size typically has a 12 gallon tank. That is 36 hours worth of idling with a full tank. 5 more hours than the EV with a PTC. Significantly less than an EV with a heat pump. |

Tesla is clearly head and shoulders above other EV makers. Their new 18 wheeler is additional proof of that.

So in this stuck stranded scenario, Tesla's better technology works against them. |

Hilarious post that I’m sure has a major tongue in cheek.
Obviously not the first cold weather for EVs. But on the odd chance you were actually serious, the number will be far fewer than people that failed to get gas before the storm hit.

Both types of vehicles have their purpose, and your example doesn't change that purpose much except for an extra charge or two required to make the trip they wouldn't be making anyway in an EV. |

Electric Vehicles make up 3% of total auto sales. https://policyadvice.net/insurance/i...ar-statistics/ So yeah you’ll see fewer people having problems with an EV, because there are a lot fewer EVs out there. |

It must be accounted, the effect of all the expelled hot CO2 as a greenhouse. Just EVs, it doesn't happen to legacy cars
It'd be hilarious if ol' Elon went full non-PC and added propane cabin/battery heaters, or plug-in hybrids, or (screw it) big-blocks. Really for this thread: Dress warm enough to be outside. Have a blanket (or a reg cab pickup). Don't plan on needing heat or water soon. |

No, it's being used to plow snow on the local roads, rescue stranded EV owners with dead batteries, and pull AWD SUVs out of ditches. . all while in sport mode, with summer compound tires, windows down, and heat off. Of course, my car has the "suspension of disbelief" option engaged, as well.

It don’t come easy.

Speaking of the cyclone bomb…
Its -10, 25 mph winds with 45 mph gusts. Wind chill around 20 - 30 below, depending on where you’re standing.
