    'However, it got to the point that the "battery would drain faster than it would charge," Xaviar told Insider.

    When they set off they could drive for at least two and a half hours before needing to charge the Tesla. "We ended up having to stop every one to one and a half hours to charge for an hour, then an hour and a half, then two hours," he said.

    "So beyond the lost time, it also got to the point it was between $25 and $30 to recharge. Just in one day, we stopped six times to charge at that cost," Xaviar said.'

    It could be worse, you could be in NYC and the battery-powered snow plows don't work in cold weather.

    I think those Tesla owners probably figured out that the charging problem was caused by the low ambient temperature. That doesn't make it less of a problem. Solution- if you own a Tesla stay home when it's cold outside. There's a severe weather
    evacuation order? You're f****d.
