This morning, I couldn't start the car. Around ~27-29 degrees. The battery had enough juice to lock/unlock the car and turn on all the electronics. It would only crank once or twice and then die. After several more attempts, it wouldn't crank at all. I turned off the heater/AC, seat warmer, ESC, and anything else with an off button; still wouldn't crank. Had to ask my buddy come and jump my car - started up fine instantly after attaching the jumper cables.

Hey guys, I have heard some of the positive posts are working loose. TM this may or may not be the case with you. The last set of kits had these extra washers.... 3/8 flat and a 3/8 lock... torque down till lock is collapsed.
I just checked with Bu-Tang for 'starting' update, all seems well in our balmy -15C
