For at least one Tesla snoot, the Big Chill is not a picnic.
Besides freezing door handles, Tesla owners who braved the cold this Christmas weekend were met with 'winter range anxiety.' As we explained last week, cold weather will degrade battery performance. At least one video went viral on Christmas Eve of a person whose Model S wouldn't charge in the cold at a Supercharger station....
...In a video posted on TikTok, Nati said battery issues began on Friday when his Tesla wouldn't warm up so it could charge. He tried charging at his house and a Supercharger station, but nothing seemed to work. In a last-ditch effort, he went to Supercharger station on Christmas Eve, where he experienced the same issues.
Nati shows in the video that a Tesla alert pops up when he plugs the car into a Supercharger stall. It reads, "Battering [sic] is heating -- Keep charge cable inserted."...
Two hours later, he abandoned the Tesla which showed the same message.
