Doesn't it get cold in Norway? I live in the Upper Midwest of the U.S. In our colder months, the range of a Tesla can drop in nearly half.

Do you know this from first hand experience? Or is it just something you heard somewhere? It is certainly not my experience of my 2015 Model S 70D. If it is really cold (-20C) and I am doing short journeys (so the battery never gets warm) then it might drop by 25%.
