These are some of the reasons why I would never buy a Tesla, even if I would want to buy an e-car (what I absolutely do not want to buy). Nor would I want to have anything to do with any of Musk's businesses.

It cannot be solved, as this is a matter of basic thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium. A change in temperature will always influence chemical reaction, lowering the temperature will always slow down a chemical reaction. There can be workarounds, like a heating system that keeps the battery (which actually is an accumulator, not a battery) above a certain temperature, like 5°C or 10°C / 41-50 °F), but this of course also drains power from the accumulator, so in the end it doesn't change much about the range of the car (however, it definitely increases accumulator life). |

I got a 04 highlander with 200,000 miles. What I look for in a car is accessibility and being able to perform basic maintenance tasks like changing the battery, transmission and engine oil, plugs, wires, starter, light bulbs, alternator, belts, struts, brakes and such. That’s getting harder if not impossible to find in newer cars. Everyone thinks those LED head lights are the best thing since sliced bread, they look so cool!. Until just one diode goes out and they have to take it to a shop to remove the front clip in order to replace a whole headlight assembly for several hundred dollars. Me, I go to Walmart buy a $20.00 halogen bulb and replace it myself in under 5 minutes

Tesla: ‘There’s almost no reason to have a gas car’
This is a bit like a fish saying "There's almost no reason to walk around on dry land"

If this shows to have been a software fault and not driver's fault, then it would be a major PR desaster for Tesla. There have been desastrous incidents with Teslas before - but none so visually well-documented.
Personally, i may be able to get used to automatised railtrack traffic (subway, trains). But autonomous cars I will never feel acceptance for. The number of possible and unpredictable interfering variables that could mess up just any situation out of the blue, is beyond my tolerance level.

We'll see if you have a choice. I think they will find that for any auto-piloting scheme to work it will require every vehicle on the road to be on the same network or at the very least have some sort of transponder.

Don't need the NK's, just a bit of snow or road grime over the camera lens ought to do it. Transponders would help but unless you can get that moose to wear one it will also have issues.

Since Musk is so effectively destroying Twitter, can we have him buy Facebook next?
