Or is it corporate gaslighting?

A soufflé would fit some of the void. It has some flour in the bechamel.. whipped egg whites etc.

I went through my third joule and I share the annoyance you feel, what did you ended up using instead? I do value its compact form factor.

If it is mostly a timezone question, would eastern Canada work as well?

No not quite, at least five years ago the model 3 was far superior to competing electric cars and a very comparative price. The whole vibe around it was a bit of a deterrent, not as much as it is now mind you. It was just a better car with better performance and more range, not to mention the one board integration with the supercharger network. The whole Elon aura played a role differently over time.

Roman style? It seems like today's rich don't have statues depicting them naked like in ancient times.

I'm actually in the middle of reading it.. I'm still struggling to follow it all, know in which variation I am at a point and see where it is going. But it is sure entertaining

Strangely enough, where I saw the most rat ever (by far) was early evening around the mall in DC.

I think you missed the point, I perceived the question (which I'm asking myself too) how do these differ? What makes one more fun or better than the other?

I'm parked outdoors but I do have a good 40A charger, I also make sure I never get under 20% when it's that cold.

It's the second one, and ICE typically uses energy that is otherwise wasted when it isn't cold outside. Mind you it has the effect that it takes longer to warm up an ICE car because you need to warm up the engine etc. before the habitacle gets warm where you cet there very quickly with an EV.

Yes but once the car is warm, it doesn't consume that much to keep température unless you open the doors, at least on my 2019 Tesla 3.

I found that pavement conditions, how much snow and ice is stuck to the car etc. have a bigger influence on range than temperature once the car is warmed up. The trips I did during or just after a snowstorn always required some careful management of charge and keeping a good buffer.

I'm surprised since I've never had any problems at -40C and it happened several times. I Neve had to supercharge the car under these conditions however.

I've had an EV since 2019 and did a few longer trips, including outside teh normal charging networks and I only had to wait fun line twice. It IS annoying when it happens, especially when I was in the middle of nowhere and the charger was being used by a pluggable hybrid

From my experience, having an EV for daily driving actually changes the electrical consumption less than the months where the pool motor is on. Which makes sense since the pool motor runs all the time (even if it's dual speed).
