Wow. Thanks for that treasure trove of details I had never heard before.

So big battery recharge partially depends upon 5 below zero here in Michigan in the winter and 105 degrees in several places during the summer this year.

And I would guess that Tesla deluxe charger is pricey. Just a hunch.

Gomer Pyle: “Golly, sir. I can’t really help you all the way out here with a gallon of gas or a jump. All I can do now is tow your car back to Wally’s Filling Station and you can plug in for a few hours. You’re welcome to stay in Mayberry overnight. If it’s a tougher mechanical or electrical thing the nearest Tesla dealer is up in Mount Pilot.”

Schedule your drive with the Tesla app and precondition your car, have everything fully charged and warmed or cooled when you depart.

They have a battery management system that knows just what the battery likes. This controls the heating/cooling of the battery.
A happy battery lasts a long time.
