"UPDATE: I received several calls today from @Tesla Motors . They have been very accommodating so far, and are towing my car 2 hours away to Richmond to the service center at their own expense. Also, they delivered a loaner in the meantime." https://www.tiktok.com/@domnatishow/video/7181594117112122666
"UPDATE: Shocking interaction with Tesla service! They sent an estimate of nearly $2,000 and said my battery heater is broken. The notification on my screen said the battery is heating which was not true and their response regarding this false notification was very disappointing." https://www.tiktok.com/@domnatishow/video/7182837104857140522
Domenick Nati from Virginia, for instance, tried to charge his Tesla Model S ahead of Christmas but encountered some problems.
“I tried to charge it at my house, it won’t let me. So there’s no way to charge this battery or let it warm up in the cold,” Nati said in a TikTok video.
He then took the car to a Tesla Supercharger station and plugged it in but it failed to charge again.
The vehicle showed a message that the battery was heating and the car had a range of 19 miles at 1:11 pm.
“3:03, almost two hours later — battery is heating, 19 miles,” Nati read from the vehicle display with frustration later that day.
The temperature was reportedly around 19°F, or -7°C, at the time.
Nati’s video — titled “Tesla S will not charge in the cold. Stranded on Christmas Eve!” — has now amassed roughly 113,000 likes on TikTok.

As EV popularity skyrockets”
Typical Yahoo BS. EV popularity is not “skyrocketing”.
Liars use statistics, not reality. If one person loved EV's, and then we have 10 people, well that's skyrocketing mathematically, but not in reality.
That’s really the best thing libtards could do to save the planet - just park the silly thing
Waiting for help.
As long as the 15 yr old girls who are planning our economic system are happy, that’s all that matters.
I recently saw that Maine is going to get an EV ferry for, I think, the Rockland-Vinalhaven run.
“Enthusiasts”??
How can you be enthused by the four wheel equivalent of a toaster oven?
Golf carts must also excite them.
“Skyrockets”????
When 20% of the population had one, wake me up.
My 57 Bel Air always runs, even when it’s cold. Might need a splash of gas in the carb though.
I had to charge the battery in my car today. It sat, under cover, for 3 months. Battery dead on the car equals pulling the F150 up to it, running the jumper cables, waiting a free minutes and...vrooommm. Also noticed I was low on that evil gas.
Oh man....
If only roadside assistance would deliver him 1 gallon of gas so, he could get to the next gas station...
Lithium batteries are not supposed to be charged or stored at freezing temperatures. My E-mower manual warned about that. Keep the battery in the house when temps drop to freezing. Do not attempt to charge either. If the Tesla battery doesn’t have enough charge to heat itself you can’t charge it. Lol. This is our future. The RAT politicians don’t care.
Sand.
should’ve had a v8...
It appears this guy runs out of ‘gas’ so frequently that he has taken to carrying around a generator in the bed. LOL!!!

Running their generators (for a quick charge to get them home for dinner)
Like AOC?
She seems like she’s stuck at 15.
LOL!
Should print that up on bumper sticker and slap one on the rear window of every EV we see, out and about.
