Last night's melt and re-freeze made for an extremely sketchy walk to work today. Someone shoveled the entirety of one of the walking paths I use, probably thinking they were being helpful but instead turned the whole path into a fucking ice rink. Just about bailed a dozen times, probably would have been safer to drive.

I'd give the benefit of the doubt and say that it wasn't an asshole, but rather a moron who thought hot water will melt the snow away.

But yeah, still fucked up.

I actually liked car2gos service, it was really convenient. Haven't used them in over a year though.

Question for Tesla 3 owners, how does it do in snow conditions? Anyone get dedicated snows for your car? Notice a significant loss in range in the cold?

Your major reason for range loss will be from running the heater.

^ not the cold temp? I read that cold temp reduces range because it affects battery capacity?

This may give you a bit more insight, temps are around 10 degrees. While not as cold as here, it's still cooler than what the batteries like.

I drove mines on all the snow days we had so far. It was fine and I have on new continental Vikings that I just bought. I can't really comment on the range loss though as I drive it within 15 km and charge it nightly so I don't notice a huge loss.

If anyone is looking for Ice Melt. Costco has Alaskan ones for $19.99. 50 lb bags. Brighton and Willingdon each got one pallet this morning. That's like 50 bags. At 9:30 am, there was maybe 40 bags left (they opened at 9:00 am). I got enough for next year, lol. They're out of stock everywhere else and pricier. Every time I buy them, weather gets better, so let's hope that's the case again this year. The stuff keeps well, as long as you keep them out of the sun (UV rays). I keep mine in the dark corner of the garage. If you open a bag, store leftovers in a black or dark 5 gallon plastic pail with a good lid. I found one that was 6 years old, maybe older, and it's as good as new.

Battery doesn't like cold temps. Range definitely went down with the cold battery.
Also charging time seems to have slowed down with the colder temps. Was parked at a DCFC for 40 mins and only got 40% charge on my 18 leaf.
In the summer, that 40 mins would have had me up to 80% plus.

Didn't see a huge difference in range with teh snow tires. I have the conti Vikings too. But then again I went down to a 15 so less rotational mass but less areodynamic as the wheels are open spoked.

And all this was with the heater off. With the heater on, range went down event more.

That's a good price. I saw 10 5kg bottles of Alaskan at London drugs last night. Surprised they had any left.

I've used Alaskan for years, but this year I picked up a 40 lb bag of the Scott's EZmelt to see if it works better. Cost was the same as 40 lb bags of Alaskan, both at Home Depot. The Scott's stuff has the NACl/CaCl/MG etc all mixed into one chunk, and the particles seem to be denser and more solid than the Alaskan formula which seems to be more flakier.

I had a new bottle of the Alaskan melt to compare to, and the Scotts does seem to melt the snow/ice faster like it claims, and the denser chunks seem to last longer than Alaskan, so I've used less melt. Not sure if there's less concrete spalling/damage yet, we'll see after the snow's over.

It's a good deal at Costco, as having any melt is better than none, but I'm thinking of switching to the Scott's stuff going forward.

I don't get how people can drive with a blind rear view

They didn't realize they could get a combination of volation with blocked rear view + unsecure load of snow

It just means they never check their rear view anyway...

Can't notice something is wrong if you've never looked back there at all!
