Leaving cans of soda in a freezing car is also not great. 

I’m not a fan of the new Prius, and absolutely no Teslas

Yeah but.... ask a cross country skier or rally driver about the various stuff that gets called snow. Then there is consideration of the base, Packed snow becomes ice, water becomes ice what kind do you have? Is it better to cut into base with your tires or not.
