I have heard that as well but OTOH, I've watched videos on YouTube of Tesla owners who live in places like Chicago for example. I believe the issue is that when you charge the battery, it needs to be warm. If you're going to be charging at a Supercharger for example, you go to Navigation on the Tesla's main screen, tap Charging and then pick the charging station you're going to charge at. By doing this, the Tesla begins warming up the battery so that it's ready for charging when you arrive.
Well done, Geoff! I hope Jeannie enjoys here new ride. The only issue with the EVs in general is how they perform in extreme weather conditions like freezing temperatures. I've heard charging batteries in low temperatures is difficult and performance might be degraded. Granted you live in a warmer climate, but have you heard about how EVs perform in the cold? I've only rode in a Tesla once using ride share to the airport. The wife eventually wants an EV, but we live near Chicago and it gets down to negative temperatures in Winter. Again, get piece on the Xmas surprise UPS surprise Tesla surprise!
