When I was in the USAF in Montana the coldest “temperature” without any wind that I saw was -38 F. My 67 dodge pickup truck started. I didn’t even have an engine block heater and it was parked outside.

I bet a brand new Volt would not have started.

“-38 F. My 67 dodge pickup truck started”

I have had three of the old Dodges. My favorite was a ‘76 mil-spec Power Wagon. All 318s, never saw -38, but they
started down to -18. I didn't buy one of them below 100,000 miles.

Have the right oil for temps like that and it is supposed to start. Have the wrong oil and it won’t crank.
