Waking up to a 1% battery in a Tesla Model X after a night parked on a Chicago street at 9°F is a stress test few EV owners want. This driver’s portable charger showed “0 miles per hour” for hours as the battery fought the cold, finally creeping up to 7% after eight tense hours—just enough to reach a Supercharger. The big takeaway? In winter, don’t gamble with a low battery and always plug in while the pack is still warm. Anyone else have cold-weather EV stories or tips for surviving Midwest winters? #Cars #Chicago #Tesla
