Good question. My neighbor hasn't moved his Tesla out of his garage in 2 days. It seems that extreme cold has a weakening effect on the battery and mileage per charge is reduced.

A few days ago it was almost forty degrees, then it rained the next day.
I love Perth, but the weather is something else entirely.

Perth's pretty great to live in. It's quite small though, so unless you're into nature and travelling far you might get bored quickly. |

If the wind is blowing then -22F air temperature feels like -50F (called "wind-chill factor"). |
Oh I see  |

Yeah, the beaches and water in Perth (and surrounds) are really beautiful - really white sand and amazing water colour. Sydney has great beaches, but Perth/WA are really a notch above ours
