Tesla Battery

Had a Tesla (my username checks out) Model S since 2012 in Ottawa. No problem. Prepare to lose range during winter. (20%ish ) Preheating is key. Check out PlugShare for charging stations. I drove the car in -32 and +32 ! It’s great.

Pros: no problem
Cons: lose range during winter

Tesla Model 3 long range and 2018 Leaf for over a year now.

Winter is about 30% less range at very cold, worse for short drives where you need to heat a lot for the whole drive (and if battery is cold). In the later case you're near home so it doesn't matter.

Pros: instantaneous torque at 0
Cons: 30% less range

I have a Tesla Model 3 I got last year and drove it every day during last winter. No problems other than it uses a bit more of your battery to go. Also using the heat uses a bit more battery as well. I would say about a 20-25% loss in range compared to summer driving.

Pros: electricity is pennies compared to gas
Cons: 20-25% loss in range

For about a month I have owned a 2016 REx whose 60 Ah battery is supposed to get 72 miles. This week I fully charged it and have been commuting four four days without topping up. Today the REx kicked in with the trip meter at 73.3 miles. This was a mixture of city traffic jams and short bursts on the carriageway, mostly with the air con on and mostly in Comfort mode. So I'm pretty pleased.

Pros: good range, satisfactory performance
Vehicle: BMW

How practical is a Tesla for a person with a 30-mile commute (each way)? Between my commute and running around, I probably spend $80 per week on gas.
