    About as well as they do in 30" of snow is my guess. I wonder how well they do with an Arctic snow plow on the front, and trailer hitch on the back. How large of a boat can they tow, how many snowmobiles in an enclosed trailer are they approved to pull, my 32' enclosed trailer holds 4 mountain sleds, and 2 drums of gas, plus a skimmer.

    I can't imagine getting around in a snow storm in a tesla, hauling semi tires, 180 gallon tidy tanks full of diesel, parts, pails of oil, or anything else in a tesla, much less making it from city to city in one. Now if i lived in Austin Texas, and all i had to carry was a Starbucks coffee, then maybe it would work out, between car fires.

    No gas rationing locally, put 97.4 liters in my F150 today, and filled up 3 gas cans. Bought everything I needed in the gas station while there, eggs, milk, bread, popcorn, butter, bacon, cereal, and pork chops were on the list my sister gave me. Its shopping itself that is difficult to do, with a broken ankle, and wrist.

    Some does parallel hwys, but much of it is many kms away. The pipeline north of Pr. George is a popular ATV place. I myself have ridden it from Pr. George, all the way to the Mackenzie Junction, where it is close to the hwy. Rode out to the gas station there, filled up, at lunch, and rode back. It took us 8 hours, not including lunch.

    You guys realize Tesla and all EVs are the most sold in Norway, which is pretty cold all the time!

    It’s sad how ignorant lots of people are on this forum are - just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

    Ok? Facts are still facts. Batteries don't last as long in cold weather. I could care less what a person chooses to drive. Here is my honest question. What does one do with an ev in 10 years when the value of the car isn't worth putting a new battery in? It is also my understanding that unlike a lead acid battery, lithium can't be recycled.

    You're just butt hurt because nobody cares about your boy, Musk. Personally, I think he's a freak like Zuckerstien. They aren't human and anyone that tortures their children by giving them stupid "names" like, "X Æ A-12" should be...well...I'll digress.
