I see you beat me to this one, oh well, two threads on this now.Wyoming wants to phase out sales of new EVs by 2035
But by Tesla's exact words, one second of -20° F. means you're safe if the other 23.99 hours are below -22°F. .True, but it did hit -36F in Devils Lake, ND in January of 2019. I have a friend that grew up in Devils Lake, and currently lives outside Fargo, ND, where the winter temperatures average about 5-6 degrees F warmer than Devils Lake. And even in Fargo they had a week a couple of years ago where the high was -20, so yes it does happen, though the incident I am thinking about might have been a 5 day high of -20, not a 7 day high.
Yeah, too bad we didn't keep using them...Kinda like when the horseless carriages started to become a common mode of transportation. Some communities passed laws to protect the town from those new fangled things. If horses were good enough for great grandpa, they were good enough for everyone. <sarcasm emoji>
Only three words:Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
Perhaps "nobody" is correct. I don't think anybody would want an EV where it is often that cold for so long. At least not until they make EVs that do much better in extreme cold.580k people in Wyoming. I’d wager to say nobody cares, but that’s not quite truthful. Almost nobody cares.
