There's a reason he's stopped and "off" (no brake lights) in the far right lane, rather than doing the stop and go thing (my guess). Just waiting until it clears. That wait was likely many, many hours. Bet it got chilly inside.

Eh I’ve sat idling in a Tesla model S at -30 for multiple hours and not had a huge hit to battery. And that’s with no mountain to regen down.

Heat pump makes a big difference. Tesla are just so much more efficient.

Touching on the heat pump topic. Anyone heard when Rivian will introduce it into their model lineup? We know it's being worked on and will come, but when?!?

No heat pump. Resistive heat only. And a heat pump isnt doing much at -30.

If they're at Donner Summit, then it's downhill both ways to a RAN Charger (Sacramento and Truckee have them).
