How are they dealing with the "cold weather kills the batteries" problem? I'm genuinely curious.

Easy - it's a myth :) Yes range is affected. Yes the car needs to precondition the battery (heat it up) before charging. But cold weather affects the range of gas powered cars too and we seem to have survived that just fine.
