So first you preheat the cabin to release the charge lid latch so that it will open after freezing shut.

Then assuming were accepting Musks word that there are no issues why did it not charge at all in over three hours for this guy?

According to all of you it just needs to heat it up and then it will charge (albeit at a slower rate if not preconditioned).

And Tesla swapped out his car so clearly they think somethings wrong.

this was a good35 degrees colder than the Texas storm
Its not that I dont understand batteries. Its that I dont understand why you blindly accept that excuse from a known liar in spite of evidence to the contrary.

This is where it helps to actually read what you're posting.

From your article: He doesnt mention what model year his vehicle is, but it's most likely a problem with his vehicle, not something general that could affect any Model S.

If the car doesn't heat up the battery sufficiently after multiple hours of preconditioning, there may be something wrong with the vehicle itself, indeed, which is why they're going to diagnose it. The problem in this situation was that preconditioning wasn't working on his vehicle. Or it was working very poorly in that it took about 48 hours for it to start charging slowly.

Also, Tesla towing his car in to get it diagnosed would specifically mean the opposite of "Musk says there are no issues."

It has been repeatedly explained to you that extreme cold affects all batteries, but you're repeatedly trying to insist it's only a problem with Tesla batteries for some weird reason. If you understand batteries, you wouldn't be acting like extreme cold is a problem specific to one battery manufacturer.

Again, extreme cold affects batteries regardless of who makes them.
