I'm not sure about the tech details of the cold weather problem. But, we did have some very cold weather here (-20c to -28c) and I had no problems with mine. I keep my '23 in a car port which is totally exposed to the outside cold, but does keep some of the wind off. My car is always plugged in when it's sitting there ... and, since we are both old codgers without jobs, it'll sit for many days without any use.


I was at the dealer last month and I asked the service manager (a bit of a friend) and asked if they'd had any "dead" cars over the cold period. Had a bit of a conversation and, yes, they had some they had to tow and warm up. However, every one of these had been street parked and NOT plugged in (to the charger! Not to a mostly useless engine block heater).


If you keep the car plugged in during cold you "should" have no problems. Mind you, we don't get real cold like they do up north where -35c to -40c is common :)
