Saskatchewan EV owners who park outside all winter – what's your experience?

Hey everyone,

I'm seriously looking at buying a Tesla Model Y AWD and I'm getting pretty excited about it, but I have one big question before I commit.

I don't have a garage, so the vehicle would be parked outside year-round, including through Saskatchewan winters. Most of my driving would be around the city (commuting, groceries, errands), with the occasional longer road trip in the summer.

I'd love to hear from people in Saskatchewan who are in a similar situation and park their EV outside all winter.

A few questions:

• Do you use Level 1 (120V) or Level 2 charging at home?
• If you're on Level 1, is it enough for everyday driving, or does winter make it frustrating?
• If you upgraded to Level 2, did it make a huge difference?
• Is outdoor winter ownership something you don't even think about anymore, or does it require a lot of planning and battery management?
• Any issues with charging, preconditioning, or reduced range during those -30°C to -40°C stretches?

My landlord is pretty easygoing and would likely be open to installing a Level 2 outlet if it makes life significantly easier. I'm just trying to figure out whether Level 2 is basically a necessity for someone parking outside in Saskatchewan, or if Level 1 is perfectly manageable for typical daily driving.

I'd really appreciate hearing the good, the bad, and anything you wish you knew before buying an EV here. Thanks!
