If it snows a lot, wouldn't you also have battery life problems because of the cold?

Gasoline cars have batteries that die in the cold too.

Which is one of the reasons you have to plug in a gas car in cold weather as well, the other being the oil freezing in the crankcase, a problem a Tesla doesn't have.

iirc the Tesla battery pack has liquid heating and cooling.
And what better time to run out of juice than in a blizzard. Good luck with them solar chargers when it's been grey for a week.
