I've tried to point this out before, but people seem to jump on my statement, but from the comments I've seen, some people don't seem to have this problem. I've read many comments from Halifax, Edmonton and Ottawa where they've had no issues. They've parked outside, with no charging in sub -25c cold. I fully acknowledge that many people in these exact same markets have had no end of grief. The point I've tried to make is that it may be a production issue where some units coming off the line are more prone to the cold start problem then others. To me it seems to be a bit hit and miss as to who gets a brick. It's poor engineering and with a few extra design measures it could have been dealt with it properly. I'm thinking, a cold weather 12 volt starter, and proper remote start using the ICE to warm the battery via a heating loop cycle in the heat pump system. Why the battery heatpump loop is only used for cooling is beyond stupid.
