Driving my DE in 26-degree weather killed the range!

I think although my new Polestar 2 has low 270 miles range, but will hold up will in cold weather. Most of its features basically not applicable in Texas, such as heated windshield wipers, heated seats all around and cupless door handle to break freeze ice.

Oh yeah….

Lucid is summer car, Polestar is a winter car.

My reasons for Polestar 2…

Solid build quality
Volvo collision safety grade for my son
Descent dual motor acceleration
Android system integrated with Google
Google Play Store apps
Software stability and maturity
Apple CarPlay (just out 2 months ago)
SiriusXM with shark fin antenna
Any Volvo dealership for service

Cons:
Weak regenerative brake
Funky transmission tunnel
Range
Audio (spoiled by Lucid)
Narrow field of view

Here’s a great article from Tom Moloughney at InsideEVs. He does a clever and not mean job of putting this dumb YouTuber in his place.
I have a question, should we pre-condition the Lucid battery before driving in cold weather? And also does keeping the Lucid plugged in keep the battery warm even if it’s not charging?
