The coldest I have driven in is probably about 30F. I do lose a little range at that temp mostly as it is sitting in a parking lot. I'd say about 20 miles.

I drive almost all highway and the mileage I give in my description is based on that.
Thanks. I bought a Panamera Turbo ST as my "last" V8 gas car. Next up will be a Taycan ST/CT. Just waiting for Gen2 of the Taycan as they have some bugs to work out and catching up w/ Tesla.
I owned 1 PHEV vehicle (Volvo T8 XC90) and found the hybrid to be kind of silly/pointless for my type of driving. I think full EV or full gas is the way. Hybrid didn't seem to be good for me. As you know the infrastructure for EV has a LONG way to go. I do have concerns that the number of EVs will multiply faster than our ability to make electricity to power them. It seems like we're not making any strides on the electricity supply side to support EVs in the USA.
