Tesla Electric Car Batteries Won’t Charge And It Is Likely This Is A Consequence Of The Cold
A driver, owner of a Tesla electric car, is discovering the limitations of the vehicle in the worst possible way. The batteries of his Tesla Model S simply stopped charging, despite all attempts and assistance. It is known that the performance of electric cars in extreme cold situations always changes negatively. These inherent problems of the technology used are unlikely to be quickly resolved in the near future.
What Happened To The Tesla Model S?
Generally, Tesla electric cars have altered performance in times of more adverse weather forecasts. With a simple update, vehicles could gain greater range or faster charging. The Tesla Model S stopped charging and the pointed cause of the problem is the cold. Thus, it became evident that the batteries need to be heated, as they remained uncharged or did not increase range for several hours.
The car owner is Domenick Nati, a host of a radio show. He was trying to start the vehicle on Christmas Eve, in minus 7 degrees, when the batteries failed for no logical reason. There were several attempts, all with the same result – the batteries wouldn’t charge at all. Soon, the driver wondered if it was the cold that was preventing his car from charging. This was the only reason why the Tesla Model S wouldn’t charge the batteries, something that Tesla ultimately did not clarify.

How Did Tesla Respond To The Failure Of Its Electric Car?
The manufacturer collected the vehicle to study the causes of its charging problem in the cold. Moreover, they provided a Model 3 to Domenick Nati in place of his Model S, which made the incident gain even more visibility. The brand has yet to present a reason for this problem or how it might be resolved. Until then, it is advisable to avoid charging in extreme cold situations.
