    This really explains the dirty looks I was getting from people in my Parkade...

    Jokes aside, the fun police at GM have shut this down on the new gen trucks. I think they shut off automatically after an hour if not moved. Guys up north with their 2020 DMax’s are going to be pissed...

    Battery blanket also works wonders. I have both oil pan heater plus blanket.
    I have more of a concern with it being outside for over 8 hrs not plugged innat work.

    same as mine in my F150. However, in my advanced settings, I can turn that off so I would imagine it would be similar for Chev/GM

    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.

    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.

    Watch out for the all season warriors out there. They’ve been driving for 30 years in these conditions and have “no problems” going 50 on Crowchild. That’s safe!

    Yah waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many people doing far less than the speed limit this morning. Macleod was anywhere between 30-70 depending who you got behind.

    morning commute was slowed down because I can't get my damn garage door to close in this weather!
    Have to park on the driveway, override the close button to close the garage and then exit through the house. Ever since this cold snap started it's been like this.

    I beg to differ, I left my house at 6am, and people were doing 80, and then of course 50 when we were passing the southbound accident.

    Its a little surprising no environment Canada warnings. The very light wind doesn't overcome the cold. I guess we are all used to it by now.

    Pretty much the entire province has a advisory: https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/index_e.html?prov=ab

    Calgary falls JUST outside of it.
