New York Post is true.

It's being reported elsewhere, too.

Second, don’t run your car to zero battery in the winter. It needs enough charge to warm up before charging.

If true, that's a LOT of people who apparently run their battery down to zero. I don't ever recall seeing gas stations full of people who've all suddenly run out of gas.

Seems like a flaw in how the battery stats are being reported, likely being over reported, knowing the history of Tesla. But the volts don't lie! Voltage sag in the winter is real, and these cars should be letting their drivers know well ahead of time to charge up (before it even gets to 50%).
