“Stranded on Christmas Eve”: Another Massive EV Flaw Exposed When Tesla Refuses to Charge in Bitter Cold

Published

on

The nightmare that is electric vehicles simply refuses to end for owners of the hip and trendy new movement in automobile technology. This time, the story is about a Tesla owner whose car refused to charge on Christmas eve due to the extreme cold that the nation was facing.

Domenick Nati, a 44-year-old Virginia resident, shared his plight on TikTok as he tried for hours to coax his Tesla into charging amid the freezing cold wave that struck the nation last week.

In the video, which he has since shared to Twitter as well, he shows that once plugged in the Tesla tells him “Battery is heating- keep charge cable inserted.” Okay, that shouldn’t be a problem, Nati says he let the car idle with climate controls on and assumed the battery would heat and begin charging soon. Nati then resumes filming two hours later to show the progress (LOL) of the charging session. After two entire hours of idling the Tesla, the screen still reads the exact same message, “Battery is heating – keep charge cable inserted.”

Nati also showed the range at the beginning and the end of his endeavor, which remained steady at 19 miles for the duration of his stay at the pump.

Now, critics of EVs are struggling to refrain from saying “I told you so,” since this kind of issue is the same fear that many still have regarding the Tesla-led industry. Simply put, these cars are not reliable enough to be one’s main vehicle. In nearly any circumstance, a gas car can be filled and resume driving on the road, which could be the difference between life and death when temperatures climb into the negatives as they did before Christmas this year.

According to Business Insider, Nati left the car charging for another 15 hours while he tried to contact Tesla support. He never heard a response from the company. And, to make matters worse, since this was his only car, Nati said that he had to cancel his Christmas day plans since there were no available Uber or Lyft rides in the area. He also added that he would likely miss seeing his son on Christmas morning.

Teslas vehicles sure look good, and the interiors are second to none when it comes to entertainment systems and reclining seats, but these are cars, not movie theaters. If you can have two vehicles, sure, maybe an EV is right for you. But the simple fact is, when you’re in a pinch like Nati was, EVs will not save you. Even in the best of times, they’ve proven to be unreliable.

This also doesn’t seem to be a one-off incident, as Nati explained to Fox Business.

“Since I posted the video, a lot of people have mentioned having the same issue. Some fellow Tesla owners have even messaged me to see if I have found a solution. Unfortunately my answer is no.”

At 56, Cindy Crawford has finally accepted her age and wants everyone to stop calling her ageless

Published

Cindy Crawford is the epitome of a supermodel. But, unfortunately, people tend to hold models to unrealistic beauty standards, especially as they get older. Crawford personally rejects any age expectations people might have for her and has some words of wisdom to share with everyone who’s afraid of aging.

Crawford defined the ’90s supermodel era.

When we think about ’90s supermodels, one of the first names that come to mind is undoubtedly Cindy Crawford. Her rise to fame started in 1990 when she appeared on the cover of British Vogue alongside names like Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington. Since then, Crawford frequently walked and posed for the biggest fashion houses and magazines of the decade.

In 2000, exactly 10 years since her career had skyrocketed, Crawford quit full-time modeling at the age of 34. Since then, the former supermodel has written a book, Becoming, worked as a spokesperson for several brands, and even launched her furniture line. Still, even though she hung up her modeling hat over 2 decades ago, Crawford is still battling with unrealistic expectations people have of others.

Getting older was tough to accept for her at first.

By the time Crawford started approaching her fifties, she’d started noticing her age in little things: “Your skin, your hair, your body. I take care of myself but I know that I’m a 51-year-old woman.”

And yet, Cindy realized that her concerns were more based on other people’s expectations of her. “I want to do my job well, and I want to deliver but I also know that what I have to offer now is different from what I had to offer at 25.”

The former supermodel also had a hard time with people online reacting to her changing appearance, saying, “I don’t need everyone on Instagram pointing out that I don’t look the same way I did when I was 20. I know that.” But after the struggle came acceptance, which we can all learn from.

Crawford has embraced her age and refuses to look back.

After some time, Crawford accepted that you can’t turn back time and it’s much more important to focus on the now. As she shared, “No matter what I do, I’m not going to look 20, or 30. I just want to look great for 50. There’s pressure on women to do the undoable, which is not age. But it’s about looking great for however old you are, regardless of what that number is.”

At this time, she also rejects the idea of being ageless and wants everyone to stop pushing that narrative. Crawford said, “Being told I’m ageless isn’t right, especially because getting older is hard enough, never mind that we live in a youth-obsessed culture.”

Ultimately, Crawford’s age became her sense of pride as it reflects all her achievements. “I’m not 25, so why should I be trying to look 25? Why do I want someone to mistake me for a 25-year-old? I’ve had children. I have all this life experience.”

North Texas twins born in different years

A Denton couple is celebrating their new twin girls who were born in different years!

Kali Jo Scott had to be checked in early to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton for monitoring.

Then came Effie Rose at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1, making her the first baby born at the hospital in 2023!

The babies are happy and healthy, weighing in at 5.5 pounds.

“We had kind of joked, like, ‘wouldn’t it be funny if…’ with the holiday and New Year’s Eve over the weekend,” said Scott. “It turned out that was more of a possibility than we realized.”

Both parents say they like the fact that each child gets their own day.

“I love it. I think it is hilarious and just super fun,” Scott said.

“It kind of happened so quick we haven’t processed all of it yet,” said father Cliff Scott.

They say it will help keep the fraternal twins with their own identity.

“You always still want to make sure they have their own individual personality and know that they are special and unique. So this gets to add to that special and uniqueness that some twins don’t maybe get,” she said. “One will always get the glitter and confetti of New Year’s Eve and one gets to kick it off with a brand-new year on New Year’s Day.”

The few-minute difference could have big implications for a few things.

Many youth sports are based around the child’s birth year, which could make for complicated schedules.

The new family says some of the financially-minded friends have reached out about the tax implications.

“Our friends were making fun of us for the tax deduction issue since we only get one tax deduction for last year, but I think that’s just fine,” Scott said.
