I just drove the Tesla Model Y around where this past weekend it was -10F. Range was probably 15% lower overall (lots of heating / heated seats etc) and we were cautious to make sure we stayed charged up (huge traffic delays due to the storm meant you could be stuck in your car for 6-10 hours). Overall everything worked out, I did have battery anxiety but there were also gas cars which had anxiety.

Only 15% seems extremely good. General consensus is that EV's lose at least 40% capacity in such weather.
