- A Tesla owner said he was left stranded on Christmas Eve after his car wouldn’t charge in the cold.
- Domenick Nati, 44, said it was 19 degrees when he plugged his Tesla into a supercharger.
- 15 hours later the battery still showed a 19-mile range, forcing him to cancel Christmas plans.
It’s not been a happy start to the holidays for Domenick Nati after his Tesla refused to charge in freezing temperatures.
The 44-year-old radio presenter, from Lynchburg in eastern Virginia, told Insider it was 19 degrees (minus 7 C) when he plugged his Tesla S into a supercharger on Friday as his battery was down to 40%.
“Two hours went by and not much changed,” he said. “It was very slow and the numbers got lower as the temperature dropped. Eventually, it stopped charging altogether,” Nati added.
