Taking delivery of a MSP soon, just wondering what to expect when winter rolls around and if folk who have already braved our winters might be able to give me an idea.
Specifically, wondering two things, but both within the context of say, -20c to -40c:
- What you've noticed on range. From the few things I could find, seems I can expect range to drop even 20% but those were in say, -15c. What happens if I'm out in the worst case, -40c?
- If there's an effect on drain while sitting in one place. Again I could find some discussion about leaving the car at an airport for a few days, but again, that was in relatively mild conditions. If I drive around a city for a day, leaving the car outside, again say in -40c... am I walking back to a potentially dead battery?
Thanks in advance for any experiences / insight.
