Anyone with an electric car chime in on what sort of procedure to keep the battery warm? I'm assuming that a standard outlet would be just fine just like an ICE block heater, but is there some sort of special settings to leave in standby mode?

On assumption that -5 Celsius is probably what it wants to be kept at.

Keep your cabin heat on and it will warm the battery. Otherwise, Tesla's will start to generate heat with the motor(s) when the pack gets below -7.

Can’t turn it off on the GM, and to the best of my knowledge the new architecture hasn’t been cracked yet either.

People are super mad about it on GM forums.

There are lots of field hands at my work pissed about this.. So now everyone wants to keep their older <2020 GM HD trucks

I work for a class 8 semi truck dealership and all 2020 Cummin's engines are locked to a 5 minute idle shutdown. The only way we can get around it, order the truck with a PTO switch and body builder connector (Around $1500 bucks) then the customer has to enable the PTO and turn up his fast idle. I would assume the new Rams with the Cummins diesel will be following shortly.

Pretty slick on crowchild in the nw. If we can all calm the fuck down and coast instead of panic brake, that will be great!

Stay warm peeps.

Crowchild NW was definitely slick on the drive home. Counted 14 crashed cars at 7pm. You can easily tell who’s on all seasons tonight, can’t keep straight going 70.

I remember cold winters as a kid and usually having snow on Halloween unlike recent years however I sure as hell don’t remember winters that always had a stretch of -50 windchills like we’ve experienced the last few years

Fuck I hate cold

Get off my 1’ of snow covered lawn

Jan. Always had a week of this... I probably remember better than most do since I use to work at a full service gas station in high school, always amazed me how many more people we got when it was super cold! ...would go the whole shift feeling like I was standing on blocks of ice as boots would eventually get so cold they wouldn’t warm up again in between fills

As someone who worked outside for the past 2 decades, I can also confirm this is 100% normal. Usually there's a week like this in February too.

Roads are a bit slick this morning in places. That light dusting overnight, plus even the best winter tires are hard in these temps.

Yah they were saying these types of temps are normal but what they are saying is that its not normal to have them for a week straight or a month like last year straight.

[ExtraSlow]

What's normal is every year people complain that they are abnormal.

[killramos]

Was cold enough to set off my TPMS this morning lol

And I'm saying it's totally normal to have at least 5 straight days of it, twice a winter.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Just saw -40 briefly by Blackfalds.

Well I've only lived here for 8 years and in those 8 years I've only see the last 2 years of weather like this. So my judgements are based off that.

This, I've been here 15 years. But its been a long time since I have seen -33c on the forecast.

This cold is killer on my tire pressures. Must have a slow bead leak in them.
Every night i park in the garage and have to fill at least two that have dropped to the sub-30 psi range in 12 hours of being outside.
