Michael Hiles Posted January 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks for this. Nice shots of a very good looking car. I have heard very good things about the Tesla. I have a few questions, however. How is the battery effected by the cold (I live in Québec)? How is the range effected by the need to heat the car on cold days? I wonder about charging stations - if 275 miles is the range I would need a charge half way between Montreal and Toronto. I wouldn't mind a 30 minute break, but I don't know if there are charging stations between the two cities. And I think the 30 minute charge is not by 110 volt extensions plugged into a light socket - a charging station is a serious deal. But they certainly are attractive.

And I think the 30 minute charge is not by 110 volt extensions plugged into a light socket - a charging station is a serious deal. But they certainly are attractive. They have a sub zero package for the car. Also heated seats and mirrors. They added 80% of the stations in the country in the last 12 months. Any motor home charging station works. In the home a 50 amp motor home plug is all you need. The owner I talked to said he plugs his in like an iPhone every evening when he gets home. House current takes 6-8 hours unless you buy the supercharger. PS: I'm a 6'6" 200 pounder. Notice my knee by the steering wheel. It sits good for me and was very comfortable once I got in.
