the cold problem with batteries is definitely a limiting factor with batteries for the next 5-10 years—or until they figure out a solution.

might be why the production plants are in palo alto and not michigan. (but I doubt it.)

Thanks. I look forward to better battery tech. for use in remote locations, too. For example, so far, I haven’t seen any technology (even self-installed) that’s more cost-effective for powering off-grid agricultural welding tasks than generator-welders running on gasoline or diesel. Same with small mills, lathes and other machines for making steel parts.
