It really sucks to cold, stranded and ignored because you purchased a mode of transportation that is less reliable than 120 year proven technology called an internal combustion engine.
Why didn't he just start a battery fire? That sucker would have burned intensely for HOURS and he could have kept warm at say 25-ft distance. Claimed the loss on insurance and gotten reimbursed for the price of the EV.
I love what Elon is doing with Twitter, but I think the peak in the all electric car is upon us. Wall Street is trying to blame the weakness of Tesla stock on Elon's actions on Twitter, but the real weakness in Tesla, is people realizing that it's a flawed business model.
Worse than a flawed business model, it is a flawed technology. Batteries work on electrochemistry---which is CHEMISTRY. Chemical reactions are highly sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is low, the reactions will not occur and the battery becomes ballast. You can't bootstrap it into being warmer.

...it sucks to be stranded....
...it sucks to be ignored...
...it really sucks to be cold, stranded and ignored....
It apparently also sucks to own an EV.

...hillbillies are very adept at insurance fraud...
...howls...
...back in the '70s when the coal boom went bust, in Kentucky, it was not uncommon to see new Cadillacs or Lincolns burning alongside the road...
I asked Grandpa Dog about that and he replied,"the insurance overheated on it son.".....
Another reason NOT to get an electric car.
Easy fix. Butane torch. Just heat that sucker up and it will be all good...trust me...

I saw 4 people plugged in at a TEsla Supercharger station outside Asheville NC where the temp was 10. I wonde rhow they fared.
