    Electric Car Owners Confront a Harsh Foe: Cold Weather

    less efficient and have shorter range, a lesson many Tesla drivers in
    Chicago learned this week.

    For Teslas, batteries must be brought up to some temperature, which
    can take some 30 minutes.

    In other words, many owners don't RTFM....and then complain.
