Ice on Camera

[Mach-Lee]

And it still worked. Did not get a camera blocked message, which is surprising. Lane centering was a bit jumpy due to the ice.

Obviously it tried defrosting but it wasn't enough to melt all the ice.

Dang, I can't imagine the conditions you were driving in where defrosting wouldn't melt all the ice.

Drive south and don’t stop until it melts!

About 15ºF and snowing with 25+ MPH wind gusts. Poor visibility with blowing snow at times. Probably too much windchill for it to keep up. The windshield defrost and rear glass did a good job melting all the snow with a 20 minute remote start though.

The mercury is on its way down to -25ºF tomorrow night, the high on Friday will only be about -10ºF. The wind chill will be -45ºF. I might set my departure time to extra hot on Friday since the heat might not keep up.

Ope, then there's this:

Exploding trees?!

That’s way worse than what we get in the cold:

I’m curious. What’s your ER range at -10?

I thought this was going to be a post from Minneapolis …

I have never heard of an exploding tree watch before and am amazed that's a real thing.

I got 1.8 miles/kw at 65 mph on the highway at -5F a couple years ago.

I live in Minnesota and I've never heard of it either.

A quick google search calmed my fears a bit.

-4F given those numbers. It’s downright ridiculous cold when the Fahrenheit number has a minus sign in front of it.

Obligatory cold in Hawaii meme:

So I usually get 1.8 mi/kWh at those temps, and depending how cold the battery is, the 100% range might be as low as 120 miles (120-150 typically). Which is still plenty for my daily needs. But if you are taking a trip you'd have to change about every 100 miles or less.
