Another very cold weather " quirk"
The car sat in the parking lot at sub-zero temps all day today (-7F). I ran the cabin preconditioning before leaving for about 10min. Despite having about 80% SOC, the power was limited to 90%. Apparently, when the battery is fully cold soaked, It will limit max power.

I means the battery is at very cold temps through and through. I think this winter Mercedes will get all the data they will ever need about the operation of the car in extreme cold conditions. Im going on a road trip tomorrow (about 120 miles round trip) in the tail end of storm Elliot. It should be a good test of range in the worst conditions possible; way below zero, wind, snow and so on. Woohoo!

I have a couple facts I would like to share on this thread. First of all, a lot of people have a misconception about wind chill. As an example, let’s assume the actual temperature is -10 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind makes it feel like to -40 F. That does not mean that your exposed skin will cool to any colder than -10. As far as the car, battery, or any non living thing is concerned, the only thing that the wind will do is bring the temperature down to -10 faster than if there were no wind. It will NOT get any colder than -10.
The other thing that really irks me is the sensationalization of the weather on national news broadcasts. The past couple of days I kept hearing that this system is a once in a generation event. That’s such incredible BS. There have been many events like the present one (or even more dangerous with snow and cold) that I and many of you have lived through. So many times, the news leads off with a stupid weather event.

We are having the coldest holiday weather in 27 years. I expect low temps at my house to be in the lower 40's and in the 30's a couple of miles inland. Right now it is 67°F here. Our heat is running and we're wearing our warmest clothes. Brrrrrrrrrr.

And I too remember being in Disney years ago where it got down into the mid 30s one time.
