Friends son has two Teslas, a "S" for him and a "X" for his wife. I was asking friend if the range was affected by cold temperatures as we live in Michigan. He didn't have a good answer but gave an example where he was traveling with son and three other people to Auburn Hills (The Palace), about 75 miles away. There were five in the car but as they neared their destination the Tesla was indicating that there might not be enough charge left for them to get home. His son was able to find some kind of charging station at a hotel near the Palace so he dropped them off, plugged the car in at the hotel and walked back to the Palace. After the event he walked to get the car and picked them up. Not sure I'd want to deal with an effective range of 150 to 200 miles in the winter but maybe there was something else going on that contributed to the problem.
As they say, YMMV
