"Freezing Cold Leaves Chicago Tesla Charging Stations Filled with Stranded Cars"

Tesla drivers in the Chicago area are facing difficulties charging their vehicles as many charging stations are not working in the bitterly cold weather, leading to stranded cars and long wait times. The extreme cold is causing batteries to take longer to charge and some cars have died while waiting for a charge. Tesla's support website recommends keeping the charge level above 20% when not plugged in to reduce the impact of cold temperatures on the battery.
