Battery Tesla or OEM Mercedes

When you say, \u201ctwo new batteries\u201d are you speaking of the big ones? There is a small one that operate your convenience/comfort items. It looks like a small garage door 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.

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.

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.

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.

A month ago I bought a 2022 M3P with 7k miles, was at 310 estimated fully charged, now 280 all of a sudden at 10k miles.
