Gdetrailer,
Not only Tesla, but also Leaf.
Since I camp at -37 C (-34 F), it is a BIG DEAL.
The cost of running a generator for an extra hour is insignificant compared to failure of an LI jar.
Since they still think that -20 is cold, these batteries still don't meet my needs.
I thought it was interesting that "plating" is the problem. I thought that it was dendrites. I suppose one could compare LI plating to "hard sulphation" of lead acid plates.
