Where you at in MN? I'm in Rochester. I had seen a graphic of the temp swings and we are literally the worst in the world. Its crazy
Today is actually our last official day in MN. We've moved just far enough east that we're now Wiconsinites by a few miles. Was in Rochester last weekend!

This might be the graphic you remember:

I've spent my whole (short) life in the maroon area between IA, MN and WI. You could say I've been marooned with weather extremes. I already feel bad for our R1T's climate control system; it will earn its keep. There are days when I envy pre-order folks in, say San Diego, where chargers are plenty and temps consistent. But the variety in Midwest seasonal activities keeps me occupied.

You can't be too rich, too thin or have too big a battery in your EV.
May your pockets ever be graced with money and your batteries with electrons ? ⚡

It’s easier here, in Celsius. -40 to +40 ?
As a US based engineer working on global programs I'd like to think I could have done wonderful things with the part of my brain that has been chained down with simply remembering Imperial to Metric conversions. ?

This guy in Norway has tons of videos about EV life there, from 7 year old Model S and up.

Worth watching. While it is a factor, from what he's shown it's not *terrible* just something to be aware of.

He's taken cars north of the Arctic Circle even! pretty cool stuff.

Glad to see that Chicago area weather sucks. I grew up there and spent my first 22 years there. Horrible weather! Love the city but I could never move back because of the weather. At least Wisconsin and Minnesota have nice lakes to live near.

Probably the wrong thread for this but anyone knows the impact of the Max Pack on power figures? Initially most powerful setup was said to the 300 range version.
Wondering now If I’m mistaken between power and acceleration/speed…

Please tell me you don't need more power.
