Crazy thing is this January there looks to be only one night where it went below zero.

I think part of the problem is that because EVs are still new, people are going to expect or demand reliability. It's only better if it's better in every way.
When I worked in a cold city, you would occasionally hear people say, "Sorry I'm late for work, boss. Car wouldn't start, and I had to get a jump."
Because it's new, saying, "Sorry I'm late for work, boss. It's cold, so my car had less range and I had to stop at the Slurp-n-Burp to recharge" isn't going to be met with the same level of sympathy.
