What I'd really like to see is battery drain on a 5+ year old Tesla in really cold weather (-30°C) when the car is parked for a few days to a week. Especially when the charge is already low, say 20% or so.
My biggest concern with buying an electric car is battery longevity and long term performance in really cold or hot climates.

That certainly doesn't look like -20c
It looks like maybe near freezing with some mild flurries.
-20 has a certain look, the grass is certainly not that green and the parking lot will have some snowbanks around the edges from weeks of freezing weather(it doesn't get to -20 in one day lol) and certainly be caked with salt or sand. Too clean... I call bs, sorry.

There is certainly a loss of range in an EV in cold weather. But a little loss of range is nothing like a frozen gas line, or forgetting to plugin the block heater. I can't get my engine to turn over, oh no, now the battery went dead. I sure love ICE cars. Maybe that's why they're call ICE. I lived in Minot, I know the drill.

You cannot objectively test winter issues using the vehicle's own gauge. The biggest problem with LiFePo battery in below freezing temperatures is you can destroy or damage the battery if you don't heat it above freezing before charging. This will result in much slower charging. Also unless their software is open source we can't confirm the gauge is accurate in regards to its charge capacity.
If he returned to his vehicle and it was showing significant reduced charges it could be a public relations issue.
Let it sit long enough and it would need to disclose the actual losses, but in this case I don't believe it's showing an honest reading.

No issue either, always keep my battery powered to 80% max for better battery life over years. Even a winter time.
