> sports cars leave them in garages for the winter

Live in CT, own a two seater that's never seen snow, for the reasons you mention. It's on a trickle charger to avoid having to replace a regular battery that would go dead if discharged fully, but still had to replace tires that got flat spotted during last year's particularly long winter.

Knowing that about regular batteries, I'd be even more careful with a Tesla, even w/o reading the manual. "Hmm, my regular car battery has to be replaced if completely discharged, and this car is all battery ..."

I think the "different patterns" should actually increase awareness.
