    I live in Canada, Québec more specific.

    There are Teslas EVERYWHERE here. There hasn’t been any widespread reports of failing batteries.

    So wherever you got your information, you might want to look somewhere else next time

    Also, you can keep your insults to yourself. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn’t mean you can call them an idiot.

      It was common in the Midwest. And I just literally gave you the keywords to google search… there’s all the sources you need for the limited information I provided in my initial comment. Don’t like it? Kick rocks. You can’t re-invent reality.

        You know what? I don’t like your attitude one single bit.

        I’m not arguing with you.

        Take a chill pill. Go outside and touch some grass.

      Also… lmao you’re such a liar.

      Google, “teslas stranded in quebec”

      And lol @ the gullible people upvoting you.

          Thanks. I find that quite fascinating, honestly. How is it that in the Americas, EVs - or at least Teslas and their charging stations were failing but in Norway apparently this is not an issue they face.

          In the U.S. extreme heat and extreme cold is bad for the electrical grid. He have blackouts / brownouts and rolling blackouts during these extreme weather/temperature conditions.

        First of all, you need to check your attitude. I don’t know why you’re being so aggressive.

        Second, I’m not a liar. I fucking live here and my cousin who has TWO Teslas for his family has never encountered any problems. I have other relatives who have other EVs from different makes who never had problems. The vast majority of people with EVs here, even in the northern regions where it gets fucking cold, don’t have problems.

        And third, Tesla’s get stranded everywhere, regardless of temperature or weather, more than any other EVs, mainly because they’re poorly built PoS cars.

      Montreal?

      I think the OP has a point here: most of North America is distinctly not urban, distinctly not pedestrianized, and really spread apart. EVs take a substantial range hit in the cold, which might not be a problem in the Montreal area but is a bit more of an issue when living in bumfuck, Wisconsin.

        I have relatives up in Saguenay where temperatures reached -50 last year. They have EVs and it’s not an issue. Sure the range and efficiency drops, but I wouldn’t say they break or become unuseable
