Its Teslas fault that their cars have a flaw that prevents them from charging in extreme cold.

After it is explained that it's likely a preconditioning issue...

Except that in Teslas case it just doesnt charge period.

You're then given another explanation about preconditioning for EVs in general as well as an example of it happening with a Chevy Bolt. It's not exclusive to Tesla at all.

Then you made post #97:

Cool. I understand what youre saying.

However, thats not the same thing as a design flaw where it just completely fails in the extreme cold.

You're repeatedly displaying that you don't actually understand how batteries work. It's physics.

• If your cell phone battery gets too cold, it won't charge, regardless of manufacturer.
• If your EV battery gets too cold, it won't charge, regardless of manufacturer.
• EVs have built-in warming functions to heat the battery so that it will be able to charge better in cold weather.
• All batteries have documented optimal performance temperature ranges. If they fall outside of those ranges, you may experience issues with range/battery life/charging. Which, again, is the reason why EV manufacturers include technology in their cars to condition the batteries.

Also, your suggestion that only Tesla vehicles have charging lids that can freeze over is laughable at best. Maybe you haven't actually lived snow/sleet/icy conditions at all, but everyone who lives in those conditions, whether it's common to the area or not, has to deal with ice/snow removal in some form or fashion no matter what kind of car they have.
