does the newer one use a heat pump?
Yeah, the old one heated the battery through similar tech as heated seats. I think the only problem with the tesla heat pump is that it doesn't function well below 20-30F. I'm not sure if that's all heat pumps.

Electric owners under-value the last 20% of their battery. That is the most important 20%
If you are running out of "gas" , every lost mile is a mile walking (or being towed). that last 20% of range is the difference between making it to the next charger or being dead on the road. And with electric it's a bigger burden because they can't be refilled with gasoline.
As a practical example, my recent charging forecast dropped from 12% to zero % during the drive (this was controlled for consumption, ambient temps, driving speed etc). We finally arrived with 3% on the battery. So that means in a year, we will not be able to make that exact same drive. That is a problem needing addressed.
I've also not heard great things with the warranties. It seems people struggle to redeem compensation via warranty. And the qualifying conditions are not helpful for most customers experiencing poor performance.
I'm happy with my electric car, but I don't think more of the market will adopt them until this issue is directly addressed. "only 20%" dismisses the most critical and insecure experiences with the car.
Yeah, I had a model S for about 4 years and struggled with the bottom 20%. Everything becomes a stressful game of can I make it if the wind is too high. Part of this issue will be solved with more charging stations but the other part is degradation as you said.
Yeah, including enterprise grade SSDs and HDDs;)
If you push an update that bricks your customers machines you have failed and you have no QA clearly.
The best they can do to save their ass is say "actually you know what these SSD and HDD are all incompatible with W11" and start a new hardware certification program.
100%. If you force updates down peoples throats every 5 seconds and then brick a percentage of customers, it's on you.

What you're talking about is entertainers.
Athletes that make that kind of money are entertaining crowds.
So the same could be said for famous actors, musicians, etc.
But athletes that aren't also entertainers don't make that kind of money.
I'd posit Messi isn't an entertainer unless you consider him playing soccer entertaining by using his athleticism as an athelete.

It's a misconception that almost everyone does though. I recently even saw it being being taught in a zeppelin museum!
