What is your question?
Since the temperatures have gotten very cold overnights I've had to reset my clock first thing in the morning several times now. Just wondering if it is just my 2017 Elantra or if anyone else is having the same issue.

Cold can have a great effect on batteries, especially as temperatures approach freezing. If the battery drops below a certain strength, the memory functions for stuff like the clock or radio will drop off.
In addition .. 'Frequency' of driving the vehicle and miles driven per trip will also have an effect on battery state of charge .. I'm sure it 'cranks' the engine just fine .. Loss of memory to the clock and radio presets is usually due to battery power lost to 'those accessories' .. Return to dealer for free bumper to bumper warranty - diagnosis .. Regardless of what it might be called by the service writer .. Don't pay the dealer a dime for this service, it is free!
I'm having the same problem with my 2017, that is clock not keeping time in cold weather, although radio and all else working fine, and the battery is fully charged.
