Read it again cowboy. I didn't say what you said I said. As well, read the rest of my comments in my thread for where the heaters get their energy.

'brined' (salt) isn't modern. Please read my comment again, thanks.

The dimmer can't match the Alfetta's cool trans in the rear, so...

Rather than a waiting for a flurry of localized OnStar calls requesting ditch-extractions, modern ice treatments need to be laid down ahead of time, making hyper-accurate predictions more likely to play a role. Act....don't react.

Yes, the details will require time...as I said, right now the impetus it to get vehicle out there.

Well in hand...heat them while on charge and be sure to insulate the hell out of them. As well, not all heat relies on electricity - it can be harvested from chemical activity & kinetic energy.

Nothing an efficient battery heater won't fix...

More Tesla, thanks.

Sorry, did I call you a tool? I meant fool, fool :)

You're the media's favorite type of tool....good luck w/that :)

I forgot about that one, thanks :) Never gets old....

You know how the guns go brpppbrpppbrpppbrpppbrppp to hit 5 lugs in a row during a wheel change, then repeat going back on? You can hear that sequence on Fox occasionally even when all tie changes are done or when the pits are empty. I'm sure they think it adds ambience :)
