"Chicago Supercharger Stations Overflow with Dead Teslas in Frigid Cold"

TL;DR Summary
In the midst of an extreme cold wave in Chicago, Tesla vehicles have been experiencing charging issues at Supercharger stations, with some owners unable to start charging their cars and resorting to towing them to the local service center. The extreme temperatures have led to reports of Superchargers being all-in-use with wait times, potentially due to the cold affecting the charging infrastructure. While some suggest that the issue may be related to not pre-conditioning the battery pack before charging, others believe the extreme cold is causing the Superchargers themselves to fail.
