But that is “battery heater” cold. If you plug in at home most cars will eat some power to keep the battery functional. So many Tesla owners have been spoiled by abundant charger availability they never bothered adding chargers at home, or couldn’t add one.
Once the battery gets cold enough there’s nothing to do without warming it up first. I wonder if we’ll see some portable battery warmers soon to make sure this doesn’t happen again next year.
Sure, but it is not “engine heater” cold, just normal cold. (-20 air temp, not wind chill)

Teslas have built in heaters. One would think the chargers provided enough power to hear the battery.
