I'd like to race a Tesla, but choose my course, climate. Right now it's about -25, I'd like to have a 500 mile race...kind of like Indy and it's important to be comfortable in the Tesla Semi cab.
I just came back from a 200 mile trip in -25 with strong winds...needed to have the heater / defroster full on...I like it set at a little more than room temp. Got about 36 mpg (Imperial gallon), was warm and comfy. Great thing about driving an IC vehicle and not driving an EV, was that I didn't have to worry about how much battery charge and therefore range in miles I would lose, by running in -25 temps and how much further battery power/range I would lose by running the heater/defroster (powered by the EV batteries.. on full...
Would the EV be able to complete the 500 mile race with these conditions ?
I provide my previously posted link about EV's in cold temps.
