Charcoal fire under his car would work.

“Charcoal fire under his car would work.”

Peeps in New England used to do that in the coldest, darkest days of Winter.

In the old days, a charcoal fire under the engine of your VW bug was the way to get it going.

We’re subsidizing a lot of cr@p right now that’s the equivalent of highway robbery.

BTW, I would go back to a horse & buggy before I would buy a Tesla. I’ve had horses & a buggy before plus have land for a horses now so it’s not idle talk.

But, his oversized electric golf kart scored high on virtue signaling even while not going anywhere.

Did he have his face diaper on like a good EV driver should?

The EV fanbois will not approve of your opinion.

How are these Teslas not mere toys, rather than actual cars/automobiles?

That’s hilarious, but has the distinct ring of truth.

From August and the UK...

'You pay for electricity then throw it away!' GB News viewer points out flaw in EVs A FURIOUS driver has slammed an electric car for losing five percent of charge when parked outside in cold weather not being used.

And Deep States on both sides of The Pond are cool with that.

“I am amazed this one got past the propaganda machine. A lot of liberals are going be ticked.”

No, no, no.... woke punkies and other leftist morons hate Elon now and therefore they hate Tesla so this story will amuse them.

But I’m sure no OTHER electric cars could possibly be having similar battery issues in extreme cold weather, only Teslas, ha ha.

They will be fine here for local travel in Arizona, but not everywhere.

Classic British cars using Lucas, the Prince Of Darkness, would not go in the rain. EVs will not go in sub-zero temperatures, lol.

Heating mats could keep the batteries warm when it gets bitterly cold. Lots of folk in colder climes have electric block heaters or oil dip sticks that run off household current in their motor oil turning as viscous as peanut butter. Simple solution.

Except Tesla batteries already run too close to the edge on cooling, and heating mats in normal operation would serve as insulation and worsen the cooling problem.

And you know what happens when Tesla batteries overheat.
