    I love my 2022. Wish there were an actual control for the wheel heater (added for 2024) but I’ve memorised the tap sequence to toggle it and have it set to turn on automatically, along with the seat heater, when it’s cold enough.

    It’ll drive the same but have less range, like all EVs do. Batteries lose efficiency when they’re cold. Precondition the cabin before you unplug for the day, and that will help some.

      I only plug in every few weeks when the battery hits 20%. Would plugging in nightly in the winter make a significant difference? Is there a specific temperature where the efficiency curve drops off?
