EV Owners Say Winter Range Loss Is Brutal

Turns out, EVs and winter aren’t exactly besties. Drivers are realizing their electric cars lose way more range in the cold than the brochures suggest—sometimes up to a third less! Between battery chemistry, cranking the heat, and slow charging, that first real cold snap can feel like a rude awakening. Some brands handle it better, but for many, winter means more planning and less confidence. Anyone else surprised by how much the cold zaps those miles? #Cars #EVLife #WinterDriving

Icy roads causing chaos across Metro Detroit

Black ice is turning Metro Detroit freeways into a hazard zone this morning—multiple crashes and slide-offs have already been reported, especially near I-75 in Oakland County. Even if the roads look clear, they’re dangerously slick thanks to freezing temps and blowing snow. Police are urging everyone to slow down and stay patient. If you’re heading out, double-check your winter emergency kit, clear all the snow off your car, and keep your gas tank at least half full. Have you seen any trouble spots or had close calls on your commute today? Let’s help each other stay safe out there! #Transportation #DetroitTraffic #WinterDriving

Why skipping tire chains in Truckee can cost you

Ignoring chain control signs on snowy Donner Summit isn’t just risky—it can hit your wallet hard. A trucker recently learned this the hard way after getting stuck and needing a CHP tow, all because they skipped putting chains on their tires. Not only did they face a dangerous situation, but they also got slapped with a hefty fine that could reach $500. With California’s strict chain laws in winter, it’s clear: those signs aren’t just suggestions. Have you ever seen someone try to beat the weather rules? What’s your take on these chain requirements? #Transportation #Truckee #WinterDriving

Winter Car Battery Truths No One Tells You

Ever wonder why your car suddenly struggles to start on freezing mornings, even with a new battery? It’s not just bad luck—it’s science! In cold weather, your battery loses power fast, and those quick home-store-home trips don’t give it enough time to recharge. If you want to avoid a dead battery, take your car for a longer drive every now and then or plug it into a charger once a month. Your engine (and wallet) will thank you! #Cars #CarOwnership #WinterDriving

Cars that conquer Fairbanks winters

In Fairbanks, winter isn’t just cold—it’s a daily battle for anyone with a car.

The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series stands out for its rock-solid reliability and quick-to-warm cabin, making it a favorite among locals who can’t afford to gamble with their ride. If you’ve ever had a car refuse to start on a -40°F morning, you know how much this matters. Which cars have saved—or failed—you in extreme cold? #Transportation #Fairbanks #WinterDriving
