    Really, never?
    AFAIK Minnesota does get proper winter cold, so it’s just a bit surprising.

    I’ve had both petrol and diesel cars not start on me when it’s cold enough.
    Diesel probably didn’t want to go because of old glow plugs and on the petrol I had somehow managed to get a bit of water in the tank that froze in the line.

      Never. I have had some hard starts when I’ve owned older cars but I’ve never had it not start.

      My biggest issue was actually my first car with the headlights. It didn’t chime to remind you they were on and those didn’t turn off automatically. I had to tape a reminder to turn them off on the steering wheel because I killed the battery a couple times.

      Still, winter performance wouldn’t stop me from getting an EV. It’s probably be a bonus because when it’s super cold out who wants to go anywhere? Good excuse to stay home.
