Well-deserved Tesla hate aside, what’s the remedy to this for an electric car? Heated blanket over the battery? Or do less shitty EVs have something built in? I’m just curious.
Good manufacturers will install a heater on the battery that will keep it warm while charging. Also it sounds like the cybercuck is using over 20 amps for something else if they have a dedicated 50amp charger. So either the battery heater is using more energy than they can provide or the thing is broken.
This is not uncommon for ICE vehicles as well. Small electric heater on the engine block to help keep things above 0 and speed up the process of starting the car and getting up to temp

My money is on being broken.
The guy posted a follow up comment. The charging connector was broken.
