With a 3 cylinder gasoline motor onboard, there's little chance of being stranded by your batteries.
I’m only interested in tesla. The other car companies don’t make electric cars thats worth attention

What’s the recharge time?
My experience with a hybrid is that cold weather is a HUGE problem. I get close to 50 MPH in the spring and fall... and less than 30 on a day like today.
That’s actually pretty impressive... and I’m not easily impressed.
How is the cabin heated? In gasoline engines heat is a by product.
My heating bill is big and I just got a new furnace recently, its been cold here.
I’m more interested in knowing what happens to range on a blustery cold or blistering hot day when the heating and cooling systems are needed to operate at max capacity. Maybe there’s provision to capture and use waste heat from the batteries, with some sort of heat exchange mechanism using the same for cooling. But I’m honestly not sure if operation at anything much outside of 72° F with the windows down is factored into their claims.
If it takes 40 minutes for an 80% charge, imagine you are on vacation and pull up to a charging station .... how long would you wait in line for the other Tesla drivers to finish their charge?
I seriously doubt the accuracy of the report. Any report from an organization with “green” in the name is probably fraudulent in some major aspect.
The 69kwhr model has theb85kwhr battery with software limits.
Consider the source. I’m inclined to call BS!!!
