Useless? Based on what? I've seen Tesla's driving just fine in the cold here in the midwest. Even at 27 below during the last polar vortex.
You won’t go far even with a new one with new batteries. And the charts are rigged to favor EV’s. In the real world things are worse. They recommend that you use only heated seats in an EV, and freeze the rest of yourself. Ever been in a snow storm where the defroster can barely keep the ice off the windshield while you are driving down the road? And the fact of the matter is that EV’s are both smog and Chemical polluters. You ever look at the environmental damage from lithium mining, and the old batteries? And it may take 30,000 gallons to put out one that is burning. What about the runoff from that? Toxic? EV’s make no sense until a very different power source is developed. You are simply a sheep being led into a form of transportation that will make it much easier for the powers that be to control you. And the grid can’t handle what we have. They can’t even keep the lights and home heat on down in Texas. The list of issues with EV’s. goes on and on.
