Efficiency below 40 deg suffers.
Drove it in 26 deg weather round trip from
Cleveland to Columbus Oh and had to stop once for a 20 minute supercharge arriving home with 12%.
I charge every night at home for 11 cents a kilowatt. In above 40 deg weather I get 4.5 miles per kilowatt.
Fit and finish fine. No rattles. Pesky wind noise on highway from drivers window yet to be resolved. The falcon doors needed 2 service calls in the first months, but work just fine.
Absolutely love the drive. Still great at 2 yr mark.
It was a learning curve, but hey, I was 77 when we got it. No regrets.
Drove it to Fla last winter. With iCE car get to first stop in 10 hrs, with Tesla 11 hrs. Well worth the added hr due to cold weather stops.
Many Teslas well over 100,000 miles and still running well.
