"Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent," said Tyler Beard, who has been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon. "And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday."
"Like any new technology, there’s a learning curve for people," said Mark Bilek of the Chicago Auto Trade Association.
Lmao, no my dudes, it's pretty well understood that you need to keep the battery warm enough to be able to charge. This is not some fucking unexplored field of science!
I'm absolutely cackling at the radio silence from Tesla + dozens of Tesla owners just sitting around cluelessly wondering why their car hasn't charged at all in over 3 hours. Maybe another 3 hours will do it, keep trying 
Also, a cursory Google search leads me to believe that the Model 3 has no dedicated battery warmer that could be used for this very situation, but instead some system that "runs the motor inefficiently to heat up the battery". Doesn't sound like this can work when the car is stationary, I guess tesla engineers forgot about the Midwest when cutting parts to save on production costs 
Another thing I hate Tesla for is the fact that their shitty cars poison the well for basically any kind of electrified transport, by way of their greenwashing these bazingamobiles.
Trying to sell the public on electric transport that's actually scaled properly to work, like buses and trains is hard enough without connections to tesla
First you would need to sell Americans on public transportation in general, which is a far bigger issue
That isn't a dependency, it's a feedback loop. People take public transit when it is more or similarly convenient to taking a car. Getting everyone to agree to start using some objectively shitty service that takes 1.5 hours to go somewhere they can go in 20 minutes in their car will never happen. So no, it is not a bigger issue.
There are a lot more
around public transit than convenience
material conditions, comrade
Those are the main driver of people's choices but far from the only. People make decisions that run counter to their material interests all the time.
To which I say good luck.
Burgers are very selective with their narrative. Like, they don't believe covid is real, but they'll enthusiastically use it or other viruses as an excuse to shoot down public transit
They don't believe in truth or consistency. Facts are just a weapon to be used against their enemies. COVID can be real one moment to be used as a cudgel against public transit, and it can be fake in the next moment when that becomes more convenient. Feelings don't care about facts.
