The Tesla owner said getting stuck in his driveway was "annoying as hell," and he tried everything from hosing the car down to jumping the battery.

Nissan Leaf batteries are air cooled instead of water cooled. I wouldn't buy one, especially in a hot area.

Water cooled things are air cooled. The difference is in noise and where it's located.

Do you mean that water cooled has a radiator, which is then air cooled? Not the same thing.

As someone in the UK. What is this hot weather you talk of?

We're only in June, just wait till August lol we'll all be dying in our oven homes

Oh gosh. Not again. Those 40 degrees days were brutal. We're not set up for hot temperatures :).

I was confused, then I remembered Celsius. 40c is 104f. I'll be seeing a few of those days in the next week or so
