Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather::A number of Tesla owners have taken to Reddit after their front cameras fogged up and stopped working in cold weather, leaving several features, including the US$10,000 FSD Beta, inoperable. Tesla has declined to assist to these customers, despite many of their vehicles being covered under warranty.

As someone who does not follow cars. What’s a budget EV considered these days?

    There are alternatives. Fiat 500e is probably the cheapest, here in Sweden it goes for about 260k. Not as cheap as a Dacia Sandero (Petrol), which goes for ~180k.

    There's also the Nissan Leaf and the Renault Zoe, which will bump the price up to around 380-390k.

    1USD is about 10.88SEK currently, so the 500e goes for about $24kUSD~, rounded up.

    Petrol vehicles are cheaper. The Sandero is a fantastic car, particularly given the price. It doesn't feel cheap at all. Hopefully with petrol vehicles getting phased out and more battery technologies maturing, that will change.

    Personally, I don't see myself buying an EV. I won't drive very often, most likely not more than once or twice a month. I don't want to spend much on a car, so I'd rather get a used one. Problem is one of the reasons I need a car would be for emergency stuff, like taking my dog to the nearest vet hospital, 166 kilometres away. A second-hand EV won't have much range, and in an emergency you can't afford to stop and charge for 20 minutes.
