Ok, this is a bit ridiculous that you re-iterating the same thing over and over even though i've mention about battery cooling/heating system. Tesla, even when exposed to brutal extreme temperatures operates efficiently. It warms/cool the pack to optimal operating level regardless of ambient temp. People own them in Siberia and no complains. Norwegians love them.
So, anything you say about degradation or battery life is not really valid.
It's only the case with Volt,Bolt,Leaf, and i3, since they dont have any type of battery temp management and they are really exposed to those temperatures
This car may not be for you, or any EV for that matter. Canada is a bit behind on infrastructure. But here in US or in EU it totally works
Again. This is my third Tesla, and trust me, i know my cars limits
And no, my usage in the winter is not affected by temperature, unless i blast heat 24/7
Re accidents:
I'd rather be in Tesla than anything else. After seeing crazy crashes of the car, i feel much more protected in this car.

BTW, for remote cabin prolonged stay, invest in Solar perhaps?
My golf cart is 100% solar, from 2 300w panels, good for a few KWh
I ran inverter to power my remote cabin in case of the outage. It's good enough to run the whole place
You may not get whole lot for your car, but at least it wont lose anything.
And it does not deplete when you unplug it
Or you can get this:

This will give you 15miles for 1gallon
