And not just cold weather loss.
Teslas allow recharging right up to 100%, which causes battery degradation. Porsche and Audi, for 1 (2?), control the level to which you can recharge, whereby a 100% charge is actually only about 98%, which, they argue, reduces, and possibly even eliminates, battery degradation.
Tesla's advantages are being eroded and/or eliminated on pretty much every front. And their build quality is definitely a vulnerability.
