I drove to the UP and back the last few days with a 2019 Model 3 SR+ (mentioning this so people understand the range I was working with) with no issues besides increased charging stops because of road and weather conditions. This issue is a specific issue with this charger and the location. This sucks for all the drivers with dead cars, but I feel like the situation is being mischaracterized by this shallow news article. There were failures on Tesla the company to mark this charger as inoperable so the route planner would not use it and for them to not repair the location in a timely manner. There has been a lot of discussion in the Tesla and Chicago subreddit about what is happening in the area to cause this situation with these chargers, so it would be nice to get more information from Tesla itself.

Oh and yes this is not just an EV issue. Just sharing my experience of my car being totally fine traveling in this weather.

This is contradicted by the article.

I should have said "specific chargers around the area" probably since there were other locations with issues. But still, I had no issues charging in the Chicago area though.
