driving a tesla in the snow sounds miserable. all that torque and no way to control it. wheelspin city. though i suppose the awd models might have some sort of torque control to prevent that, but even still.

anyway, if you can afford a tesla, you can afford a 20 year old subaru to drive during the winter.

li-ion battery actually discharge better at slightly elevated temp, as opposed to driving tesla in the snow will easily kill your range

yes, but they get warm as they discharge and in hotter weather they can't dissipate that heat as well. tesla batteries are both actively cooled and actively heated. fun fact, if you park your tesla unplugged in freezing temperatures you will wake up with considerably less charge than when you left it. plugging it into a normal 110v plug will just give it enough energy to maintain current charge levels.

yeah li-ion self discharge quite quickly in higher temp when they are not being used, while they actually store better in colder temps as it has a lower self-discharge rate

but since the car is designed to be driven, you are probably right and they'll do whatever they can to keep the battery warm and ready to be used in colder climate or else it will drain really really quickly when they start driving it

every third car in oslo is a tesla, because the city allows electric vehicles to drive on the bus/tram tracks where other cars are prohibited and because theyre all oil rich

but apparently so many people do it now it doesnt even buy you much time anymore, and i think theyre gonna phase out the rule soon just like california did with hov lanes

I don't really give a gently caress about anything processor intense besides maybe lightroom. I was looking at the 13" air with 256gb SSD as something light enough that I can ride with all day on my bike. Is it worth getting the processor or ram bumps or will stock Suit My Needs
