A Tesla Model S owner is claiming the electric vehicle failed to charge in sub-freezing temperatures..TikTok user Domenick Nati (Domnatishow) posted a short video of the incident..In the post, he complains that his Tesla won’t charge in the cold. .The 44-year-old radio presenter, from Lynchburg in eastern Virginia, told Insider it was 19 degrees (minus 7C) when he plugged his Tesla S into a supercharger on Friday, as his battery was down to 40%.."Two hours went by and not much changed," he said.."It was very slow and the numbers got lower as the temperature dropped. Eventually, it stopped charging altogether.".According to Insider, on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Nati decided to drive to another Tesla supercharger.."Battery is heating – Keep charge cable inserted," Nati said the screen showed at 1:11 p.m. However, the battery range still hadn't increased an hour later.."I have no other vehicle so I decided to see if it just needed more time. Hours went by and with only 19 miles left to empty, I chose to leave the car plugged in and get a ride back to my house," he said..After he returned home, Nati left the car charging for the next 15 hours but still got no change..He then decided to cancel his Christmas plans because he wasn't able to book an Uber or Lyft. ."There are none working in my area," Nati told Insider..Alberta Premier Danielle Smith continues to be outspoken when it comes to a plan to outlaw cars that run on oil and gas in Canada..Smith took to social media recently to express her concerns and said she will protect Alberta from Electric Vehicles (EVs)..READ MORE: Smith: I'll protect Alberta from EVs."It will also cost billions of your taxes to upgrade the grid in a very short period of time, increasing your electricity costs and potentially impacting grid stability," Smith said..By 2030, the mandate will hit 60% of all sales and by 2035, every passenger vehicle sold in Canada will need to be electric.
