This is where it helps to actually read what you're posting.

From your article: He doesnt mention what model year his vehicle is, but it's most likely a problem with his vehicle, not something general that could affect any Model S.

If the car doesn't heat up the battery sufficiently after multiple hours of preconditioning, there may be something wrong with the vehicle itself, indeed, which is why they're going to diagnose it. The problem in this situation was that preconditioning wasn't working on his vehicle. Or it was working very poorly in that it took about 48 hours for it to start charging slowly.

Also, Tesla towing his car in to get it diagnosed would specifically mean the opposite of "Musk says there are no issues."

It has been repeatedly explained to you that extreme cold affects all batteries, but you're repeatedly trying to insist it's only a problem with Tesla batteries for some weird reason. If you understand batteries, you wouldn't be acting like extreme cold is a problem specific to one battery manufacturer.

Again, extreme cold affects batteries regardless of who makes them.

Im saying it affects Tesla the company because they appear to do little or no testing. Not their batteries. Assuming you can get whatever theyre connected to turn on of course.

When your EVs charging lid latch will freeze over in an winter storm for anywhere except California and Texas thats not great.

As to the model year I again point out that Tesla knowing precisely what that information decided to replace his car to figure out the defect. Bottom line when you later multiple critical failures for the recharging system like this in what is a life threathening storm people are in danger.

Now if you insist on pretending Im criticizing their batteries dont bother. Im criticizing the company and the blind eye they cast on eliminating serious flaws with their cars that endanger everyone on the road.
