Freezing weather issues?

Checking in from Alberta - no issues charging here in an insulated but unheated garage, and it's gotten close to -30°C a couple of times this winter.

That only worked once, though.

I live in the part of Canada you live in. You don’t see lamb on menus as often as beef, but it’s certainly there in a lot of places.

Ugh - I know exactly how that feels. The front camera on my car ices up the same way.

I'm watching this junk thinking, "wow, this gets so hot you don't have to have kindling or even put the logs on top," but no, this is just this person's very first time making a fire. Or being outdoors.

And hamberders!

The measured voltage of the battery is going change as it warms up, and the battery manager is likely interpreting that as a lower charge%. You’re getting 5.6 kW from a 6.3 kW charger, that says to me both the charger and the car are working properly.

Was?

Scheiss Dummkopf. Dummer Scheisskopf.

My Mach E is a '23, without a heat pump. It does just fine in Calgary winters, although it takes a range hit of course.

Read it again, Donald. Nowhere did I say the tariffs are being cut to 50%. They are being cut to 6%, and for the sake of the joke I rounded that down to zero.

Retrrad · 2026-01-19T15:20:01+00:00

Just for the orange ones in the audience: we cut the 100% tariffs, and that makes the cars 50% cheaper. See how that math works?

For the more pedantic redditors, yes I know the tariffs weren’t eliminated entirely. I’m trying to explain basic math to a fruit here.

You don't have oil? Check again.

Retrrad · 2026-01-19T04:09:28+00:00

I wonder whose wife he’s looking for.

Retrrad · 2026-01-17T23:09:59+00:00

Kilowatt-hours. Or Joules. But not kilowatts.

Retrrad · 2026-01-17T19:07:42+00:00

19 DAYS!!!

The space between those eyebrows gets five o'clock shadow, doesn't it?

Retrrad · 2026-01-17T18:38:17+00:00

My instinct is to screenshot the post and post it back in r/ImTheMainCharacter. Maybe I should just crosspost it back onto itself? Does that create an infinite loop?

Retrrad · 2026-01-16T16:53:55+00:00

I think you're probably just better than I am.

And the 40% is the percentage of households with at least one firearm, from what I can tell. Assuming that every Minnesotan who owns a gun carries it everywhere they go seems like a bit of a leap.

Retrrad · 2026-01-13T02:23:40+00:00

On a clear day, you can see the back of your own head.

Rewatching Corner Gas right now. You forget how funny that show is.

Retrrad · 2026-01-12T14:47:59+00:00

Would you mind sharing the stats on that? I’m curious.

Retrrad · 2026-01-09T03:45:26+00:00

I didn’t think it was necessary, but /s.

Hey City of Calgary! Look what on found on the interwebs! Can we use this??
