The media seems to be hyperfocused on one specific supercharger station in Chicago. When in reality

* There are lots of other EVs and EV charging companies in Chicago

* There are lots of other cold places in the US

* Hell Stockholm looks colder than Chicago this week and there are plenty of electric Volvos driving around

It seems that a single local news story grew into a monster for no good reason

sounds like you have a problem with the way the news cycle works. i read the entire article because i thought it was interesting. never would've known about it if it stayed in the local news.

also, you clearly didn't read the article, otherwise you would've read the counterpoints, like the section titled "Other Tesla drivers report no issues"

love it when people complain about the media and don't read and/or apply news literacy to the article that prompts their complaint.

Now HERE'S a good local Chicago story that grew into a monster for no good reason:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/13/us/chicago-rat-hole.html

this is nice and odd, a great candidate for national coverage.
