vs
Battery Tesla or OEM Audi
Had a Tesla (my username checks out) Model S since 2012 in Ottawa. No problem. Prepare to lose range during winter. (20%ish ) Preheating is key. Check out PlugShare for charging stations. I drove the car in -32 and +32 ! It’s great.
Pros: no problem
Cons: lose range during winter
Tesla Model 3 long range and 2018 Leaf for over a year now.
Winter is about 30% less range at very cold, worse for short drives where you need to heat a lot for the whole drive (and if battery is cold). In the later case you're near home so it doesn't matter.
Pros: instantaneous torque at 0
Cons: 30% less range
I have a Tesla Model 3 I got last year and drove it every day during last winter. No problems other than it uses a bit more of your battery to go. Also using the heat uses a bit more battery as well. I would say about a 20-25% loss in range compared to summer driving.
Pros: electricity is pennies compared to gas
Cons: 20-25% loss in range
I had to replace my comfort battery as well 2 weeks ago. The please start engine warning came on all the time before cranking. I ended up getting the batterie from an Audi dealer since the local VW dealer didn't have one in stock. At Audi the battery actually cost $ 60.00 less than if you would buy it from VW.
Pros: cheaper at Audi
Replace battery with OEM battery AFS still in operable on and off.
Cons: AFS still in operable
Vehicle:
Audi A3
A month ago I bought a 2022 M3P with 7k miles, was at 310 estimated fully charged, now 280 all of a sudden at 10k miles.
Pros: 310 estimated fully charged
Cons: 280 all of a sudden
Mileage: 10000 km
