This type of issue makes me wonder how battery powered cars would fair in cold places (like Alaska and Edmonton).
The cars do not do as well as they would in warmer weather of course but the technology and the batteries are improving every few months. At least according to the press releases and some reviews..

Of course it may have been the battery but I would also not rule out that the circuitry detected some anomaly caused by condensation, going from the relatively humid indoors to the cold outdoors. In my job ( BC,before Covid) we lend data projectors to students and instructors and we warn them against this. A projector in this situation will often shut itself down until the temperatures and humidity have evened out internally. So I imagine it could well be the same with the camera.
