Tesla In The Arctic: The Cold Truth That Surprised Us

❄️ What happens when a Tesla leaves sunny California and heads straight into Arctic winter? In this video, we take a Model S 100D all the way to Lapland, through snowstorms, icy roads, and frozen landscapes where even SUVs and trucks struggle. This wasn’t a staged experiment - just a family trip to visit Santa that turned into a true endurance test for both us and the car.

From minus 4°F temperatures to hidden roadblocks and days of nonstop snow, we pushed Tesla beyond what most owners will ever experience. And surprisingly, the car revealed metrics and behaviors you rarely get to see in normal conditions.

???? In this video:
— How a Tesla battery maintains 68-90°F in extreme sub-zero weather.
— Real-world efficiency: just 10% more consumption in slush compared to dry roads.
— Regenerative braking on ice and why it works better than traditional brakes.
— Autopilot in daily snow: when it helps and when it shuts down completely.
— The truth about supercharging in the north and why PlugShare became a lifesaver.
— The ferry charging disaster: unstable voltage, failed sessions, and only 22 miles left.
— Why even basic cruise control didn’t work when conditions got harsh.
— Hidden weak points: frozen frunk lock, frameless windows, and a cracked bumper.
— Driving behind snowplows in zero visibility and surviving Scandinavian road closures.
— Lessons learned for anyone planning a long EV trip in winter.

This was more than a road trip. It was an Arctic survival story on wheels. Our Tesla proved it could handle conditions that most skeptics claim EVs cannot survive - from icy mountain switchbacks to endless polar nights.

The myths that Teslas are only for California, that EVs don’t work in cold climates, and that electric cars aren’t for long trips - all challenged on this journey.
