The great EV revolution touted by Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault as a way to save the planet from climate change appears not to have taken Canadian winter into consideration.Another Tesla Cybertruck has capitulated to Alberta winter — the 7,000 pound stainless steel and aluminum behemoth was hauled away recently by Tuber Towing in Edmonton.Although details are few, it is said to be "straight out of the showroom" with just 700 km on the odometer."Cold weather, plus (supposedly) not being able to charge," is one complaint. "Welcome to the great white north, Cybertruck. We'll show you the ropes, and the tow straps," is another line in the X post. .Another new Cybertruck also died in the Alberta cold recently, reported Torque News. It is said the vehicle "bricked" while the owner was trying to defrost — with less than 24 hours of running time."The owner said he went from being in love to heartbroken on the same day.”Tesla says its vehicles have features designed to optimize cold—weather driving — like equal weight distribution, responsive motor control and dynamic traction control."In cold weather, vehicles use more energy to overcome increased tire drag and to heat the cabin and high voltage battery, it’s normal to see energy consumption increase," says Tesla on its website."We are constantly making updates to improve your driving experience in freezing temperatures including better overall thermal performance, quicker Supercharging and improved cabin conditioning. Many of these features are enabled automatically or can be enabled before or during your trip. We encourage all drivers to utilize them for the best performance in cold weather."According to a Yahoo Finance report, Cybertrucks are a disaster — and winter is a "nightmare." Charging isn't the only alleged problem. Cybertruck owners are already dealing with several issues, from getting stuck in mud to trouble accessing routine maintenance."And the impending winter will only worsen matters," writes Yahoo Finance.Tesla markets the Cybertruck as hardy enough to handle anything, but new videos reveal the opposite, it is said."Multiple clips show the Cybertruck getting stuck in what most would consider mild snow," writes Yahoo Finance. "In one viral video, the truck got stuck in just four inches of snow, leading to jokes and criticism on social media."Reports of dead Cybertrucks follow news of a downturn in demand for electric vehicles, particularly in Europe. Battery maker Northvolt recently filed for bankruptcy.
