Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather::A number of Tesla owners have taken to Reddit after their front cameras fogged up and stopped working in cold weather, leaving several features, including the US$10,000 FSD Beta, inoperable. Tesla has declined to assist to these customers, despite many of their vehicles being covered under warranty.

There are alternatives. Fiat 500e is probably the cheapest, here in Sweden it goes for about 260k. Not as cheap as a Dacia Sandero (Petrol), which goes for ~180k.

There's also the Nissan Leaf and the Renault Zoe, which will bump the price up to around 380-390k.

1USD is about 10.88SEK currently, so the 500e goes for about $24kUSD~, rounded up.

Petrol vehicles are cheaper. The Sandero is a fantastic car, particularly given the price. It doesn't feel cheap at all. Hopefully with petrol vehicles getting phased out and more battery technologies maturing, that will change.

Personally, I don't see myself buying an EV. I won't drive very often, most likely not more than once or twice a month. I don't want to spend much on a car, so I'd rather get a used one. Problem is one of the reasons I need a car would be for emergency stuff, like taking my dog to the nearest vet hospital, 166 kilometres away. A second-hand EV won't have much range, and in an emergency you can't afford to stop and charge for 20 minutes.
