I can visualize folks driving in sub-zero weather in WI/MI/MN with no heater or desert heat in AZ/NM/TX etc with no A/C since it’d be a huge drain on the batteries. Then too, I read where you’ll have to change out the batteries every so often for around $5,000 plus disposal fees.

There are two kinds of Tesla drivers.
Ones with a good charge are typically very aggressive in traffic using that instant torque to zip through traffic.
And then you’ll see a $100,000 car on the interstate limping at 40mph in the right lane trying to make it to the next charging station.

The last time I checked, it can get very cold in Norway.
So, fear not!

Norway’s EV sales rise to record 54% market share

Audi topped the 2020 sales with its e-tron SUV and Sportsback models as the best-selling new cars in Norway last year, while Tesla’s Model 3, the 2019 winner, was in second place.
