Yeah, there's no reason they couldn't do that, and most other BEVs do that. The fact that Tesla doesn't is I'd say, disappointing? and likely to give EVs a bad name in the long run.

But could also reflect that this is a California company where they don't really have weather.

Drive from from Sacramento to Tahoe in the winter... There's weather, and tons of ice/snow at elevation.

Many here complain about how inaccurate Tesla's range calcs are driving to Tahoe. It's not the state, it's the amoral response to incentives.
