So there's been some media stuff about Tesla chargers going down or getting long lines in this extreme cold we're having.

The factors there are complicated and mostly this is impacting people without charging at-home. As it happens, I'm now making a daily commute - just started in fact! And I'd like to report that my car is having no issues at all in this weather, and I haven't even plugged it in to charge in a few days.

@[email protected] The problem with AC chargers is that you need to be on them for a lot longer. Here in Europe, the general trend is additional time based fees if you are connected for more than say 4 hours, to encourage people to move. The 4h limit is not nearly enough time to fill up most batteries, and basically prevents overnight charging.
