Either. I destroyed you in FE and I’ll destroy you on your demonic evolution.

Tesla was inside the unheated garage and unplugged IIRC -17*F inside the car before I turned on the cars heat. The charger is mounted outside of the garage.Hold on here… The Tesla was outside unplugged like the ICE vehicles were?
Trucks were in fact outside one in a carport.
It was only a couple mile trip. Car was using something like 1400WH per mile. Yikes. Both trucks are diesels. Batteries were on the way out on my truck. Changed them out a couple months later. Had either trucks block heater been plugged in for an hour or two they would have started. Pipes were frozen and we were worried about breaking and flooding at FIL's house so we had to go in a hurry. Had the trucks been plugged in overnight they would have easily started, but we were not planning on going anywhere.
It is just the way things happened to go that day.

Wait! We are lead to believe ICE suffers no range reduction in the winter! That reduced range is unique to EV!
Headlights? Really?
ICE heater is supposed to be "free" excess heat from the engine. Have we been lied to?
Nothing to be sorry for, is right on topic.Occasional warm up before driving
Rolling resistance in slush/snow
Sorry for the non-EV post

Yep, lecticity ain't free, even in my ice vehicle. Gotta run that blower motor.

Two 55W headlight bulbs for an hour is 1/4 of a mile of range in my Model Y (if it used incandescent headlights).
So in stead of going 70 miles in an hour, with headlights one only gets 69.75 miles.

My 360 mile range on my ocean has dropped to about 240 mile in the winter. I don't use the top or bottom 20% of the battery, so that reduces me to about 144 mile potential from the original 360 mile range.
Still, the most I ever travel in a day is 100 miles. It takes a few days for me to charge up off my solar system after that though.

Keep repeating it to yourself and maybe it will come true?Among your GE buddies.. Sure.
. Sure.
1. The earth is flat.
2. The earth is is a propane tank.
3. Nuclear bombs and power are fake.
4. Jet fuel is not real or needed.
5. If you let go of something in a car and it doesn’t immediately accelerate to the cars moving mph it means the car is standing still.
6. If the sun sets and you grab your binoculars and you can’t make the sun come back into view it means your going to h e double hockey sticks.
7. If the earth is not “perfectly round” it means it must be flat.
8. Every rocket launch ever eye witnessed was just a fancy pyrotechnics show.
9. @tradosaurus is smarter than 99.9999999% of scientists(even though he might have a middle school crush on a dude named Neil) that have ever lived.
For those who weren’t there this a break down of the old flat earth thread.
