Tesla Winter Camping
Results: Camp mode used 14.6% battery over 12 hours. (~10.95kWh)
Test Conditions: Unplugged with outside temperature starting at -10°C and warming to -5°C by the morning. Warmed the car interior from 1°C up to 21°C, then let it get down to 14°C while I slept and warmed it up again to 21°C for an hour in the morning.

Tesla Supercharging in Extreme Cold
Переглядів 110 тис.8 місяців тому
TESTING Supercharging and some other CCS chargers at -35°C in Alberta Canada with my 2022 Tesla Model Y AWD LR. I started from a cold garage (-4°C) and drove 78km (48mi) to a Supercharger which I had navigated to so that the car started pre-conditioning the battery. It used 11% of the battery during my 50 minute drive to heat the battery, and the battery was warm enough that I got almost fully ...
Tesla Range in Canadian Winter
Переглядів 125 тис.8 місяців тому
I used 37% total including 2 hours parked with Sentry mode activated on this 96km(60mi) drive in a 2022 Tesla Model Y AWD LR at -29°C. Update More data from the same route recently, and another longer trip at -38c, range loss is now calculated off the 9c trip as the base case: Temp Distance Consumption Eqv. Range Range Loss 9°C 96km 153Wh/km 490km n/a 4°C 96km 156Wh/km 481km 2% -5°C 96km 173Wh/...
is it model 3?
Wow impressive
Bold.
28.60kWx0,59$=16.87$ for thans not expensive! My jeep 3.6 get 12miles per galon in this temperature, 8.5-10 galons of fuel per 100miles
Hi.I love your content! I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration. Could you let me know the best way to reach you? Thanks!
Yall got me wanting a tesla now
What kind of battery is this? LFP?
Do you always drive with a beanie in the winter and the temperature set at 20C? Just asking as those temperatures are too cold for me. I sometimes during the winter drive with 24 or 25C,most of the time at 24 in a t-shirt. How is the battery consumption if the heating is set to higher temperatures?
Doesn't seem like much point taking off my jacket and toque when it's -30C and will be getting out of the car in just 30 minutes. It's how I drove in an ICE car too. My old ICE car wouldn't even have warmed up until 10-15 minutes into the trip. Not sure about consumption, have never set it that high, but it's pretty negligible, since the heat pump is so efficient.
Make a Video like this again please!!!
Will try, life is too busy at the moment..
@@TeslaCampingCanada oh ok.
In the long run who cares because you could charge every night. Still better then going with an ice vehicle where you lose range but then have to go to the gas station all the time.
Exactly.
Love this and your other content as a Canadian who's considering a Tesla, hope you'll keep uploading!
This is very helpful, thanks! Can you next test charging times at a supercharger in cold weather? I'm told that -20 temps hugely extend the time needed to charge the batteries.
I have another video of supercharging at -35C. Since I preconditioned the battery, the charging speed was almost normal, but of course I wasted a bunch of energy doing that, resulting in needing to get that energy back, so a little longer of a charging session than it would be in warmer weather.
Hi,this is Hansshow and we are specialized in Tesla accessories,do you still plan to come back this channel?We would like to collaborate with you
I'm not sure, I don't have much time at the moment to do any kind of videos. Thanks for the offer though!
@@TeslaCampingCanada Thanks,please let me know if you are interested
this looks like third world country... canada is real poor omg.
How so?
-10C barely counts as winter... I kinda disagree 😄
Compared to the -38C the week prior, it felt like summer ;)
Good video...thks from Cowtown.
How expensive is your insurance?
$210/mo and for context, I previously paid $90/mo on a vehicle worth only 1/40 as much and didn't have collision coverage. So not bad in my opinion.
Where did you get your window covers?
I made them myself from a roll of Reflectix from Home Depot
@@TeslaCampingCanada awesome, I will try this!
why does this guy sound like Jared Letto from 30 seconds to Mars?
Sorry.. did I just see a tesla driver charge their tesla without tapping the tail light first?
At the very start of the video, 33 minutes and 9% of battery, damn.. i'd better buy hybrid
So you can charge in the middle of nowhere like this guy? You better do.
Ya, I don't see any advantage to a hybrid.
Camp mode keeps the screen and audio systems running. I tend to use 'keep' in the climate control setting. It will let the car lock and turn off everything but the climate control.
Ya that might be the better way to do it, I'll have to try that, thanks!
I find if your trip is relying on mostly Supercharger charge, you will pay about the same per kilometre as gas, starting at about -6C, and more than gas below that. Teslas are not for long trips in Canadian winters. 😕
how far do you get on one charge in these conditions :)
Summary at the end of the video, but 260km theoretically at -35c.
Yeah. Tesla superchargers are the most expensive here on Scandinavia
I love how you say -5 isn't real winter hahaha!! Just goes to show how serious Canadian winters actually are!!!
We had over minus 10 here in germany and i almost died🤣
That’s Celsius.
I cant even handle 10*C. Yep 10C is about 45*F. 55F is very cold for me in NorCal, USA.
Here in central Canada our Winters can drop to -40C in January/February. -40C = -40F. Yup, -5C is nothing. That’s like shorts weather in spring time for some people. 😂
Do you realise that with use the battery gets warmer and improves available energy level.
Yes, that's why I unplugged and started driving as soon as the cabin got to my desired temperature, and didn't wait for the battery to finish preconditioning.
The elites don't want you going too far and they want to be able to track you every step of the way
Wait until you learn about things called smartphones.. oh, and the electrical grid, it's a cool new invention!
Did you use the cabin heater for the trips?
Yes, you can see on the screen it's set to 20C(68F). Plus heated seat and steering wheel.
Not an option for Canada unless you just commute short distances
I don't know, depends on your definition of short. 280km max range at -30c means you could do 100km each way while leaving a decent buffer, assuming you can charge at home. And if you can level 2 charge at work too, then you could do double that. How far is your commute?
I suggest taking a defogger with u incase pump stops working that way you can still drive
If the heat pump stopped working, my window fogging would likely be the least of my worries.
At -30 F I warm the car with a block heater. I can drive 400+/- (650+/-km)miles in 6+/- hours, refuel with 20 gallons(dlrs US 60+-/) and (75+/-litres) in 5 minutes and drive the truck another 400+/- miles in another 6+/-hours. QED The best that can be said for any electric car is that the purchaser is beta testing the concept. So far, these beta tests seem to largely be failures.
It's a trade-off. Less range, but you gain the ability to charge while you sleep, and leave every morning with a "full tank". Not just from home, but from a hotel or campground as well. It's just a different experience.
The phone turning off Bluetooth is good to know!! Because I used camp mode and my boyfriend was able to open the door when it was locked and I was so confused while the door didn't stay locked I honestly felt a little unsafe since that. Since I use camp mode a lot
Ya it wasn't until the first camping trip with my wife that we tested it out and realized how it worked, before that I had been sleeping in an unlocked car I guess, oops!
I can top off my ICE vehicle an let it sit 6 months and still have a full tank. Top off an EV let it sit and in a matter of days the battery drains. And after daily trips it should be plugged in to maintain battery energy. EVs need a constant supply of power. I fill up my tank once with gas, and it lasts one to two weeks.
The battery is only going to lose significant charge when it is cold. In warmer temperatures you could leave it unplugged for months, it loses about 1%/week. So no, it doesn't always need to be plugged in. Would you rather have a cell phone that's battery only lasted a couple days but you could charge at home every night while you sleep, or one that lasted 1-2 weeks but you had to drive somewhere and stand outside for a couple minutes to charge it?
I could confidently go outside and get in my 20 year old chevy Malibu and drive to Vancouver and back. With the heat cranked and the radio on. Paid 400$ for the car.
Cool, so can I.
That's a huge range loss.
Yup, luckily it doesn't get that cold for more than a week or two a year here though, and being able to charge at home means it doesn't really matter in most situations anyways.
Try living in rural Alberta where a 50 k trip is not even close to average. You may have an argument for evs in large urban centres but please don't push the rest of us into poverty so you can do it. Come out and live where the rest of us are for a month in winter and then maybe you will understand the opposition to the government mandates.
Well, firstly, no one shopping for a new vehicle will be forced to buy an EV due to the mandate, since it allows for plug-in hybrids, where most of the vehicle's range is from gas. And as with any new technology, EVs are predictably declining in price as manufacturing and supply chains mature. They are on track to being the same price or cheaper than ICE well before 2035. So the mandate is pointless in my opinion, I would like to see it scrapped. Once at purchase price parity with ICE/Hybrids, the lower operating costs of an EV means saving money for car owners. Range has been slowly increasing over the last decade and will continue to do so, the pace of advancements in cell energy density may accelerate now that so much industry money is pouring into R&D. Batteries are likely still in their infancy. 11 years is a long time. One last note, it doesn't really matter what the Canadian government does anyways, we are a fairly insignificant market. So goes the world, so goes Canada.
That’s great if it’s a grocery getter or used in urban areas to commute to and from work but entirely impractical for long distance travel
I mean I wouldn't want to be doing many 1000km+ trips at -30c in it, it would be a little inconvenient with the extra charging time. But I sure don't need 280km to get groceries lol. It's no problem getting out to the mountains for a winter hike or skiing, although I don't normally go do those things when it's -30c...
I want EVs to be practical for usein the north. I am not agaisnt electric but i live in a part of Canada where the nearest town over is 140km and temps often get much colder than -30, even -40. 56% of a charge only goes 96km is the equivalent to gambling with my life if I want to drive to the next town over in January. Its seriously dangerous. I need a range of minimum 600km in the most extreme climate and a car simply doesnt provide the needs I require so a larger vehicle is a must.
I used 35% to drive 96km though. Giving a total possible range of 280km at -29c. Definitely need some longer range EVs for rural Canadian winters though.
@TeslaCampingCanada for sure, that is what terrifies me. For 4 months of the year it can hit -30 or colder. The next two communities are small towns, 140km and 165km away, the nearest city is 210 kms away. My wife's family is 1300km away. Electric motors are nearly perfect, if someone reinvents the battery to fully utilize electric power my fears would disappear.
Globalists love ev's, it's kind of like giving somebody two gallons of gas and that's as far as you get to travel. Ration it wisely.
You can go 280km/174miles on 2 gallons of gas at -30c?
😅😅Qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqaqqaw Q❤❤❤
What if you had a real job to get to?
Only real jobs require more than 250km range at -35C?
@@TeslaCampingCanada North Ontario is a big place. 250 km. just won't cut it. It's 350 km. from YQT to Fort Frances, one way. YQT to Pickle Lake is almost 550 km., one way. Our last fishing trip was almost 200 km., one way. No Tesla Superchargers out in the Wilderness, man.
Okay... so don't buy an EV if you want to go on a 400km fishing trip in the middle of winter on a road with no charging infrastructure or electricity. What's the big deal?
@@TeslaCampingCanada ...the big deal is Canada...long distances, cold weather, no chargers...EVs? Fine for people with no brains.
And when you've driven for three hours in those cold conditions, how long does it take to recharge on the road? Definitely not likely to be acceptable for any long-haul trips. And I personally would NOT want that giant TV screen glaring at me - would put a pillowcase or T-shirt over it to block it out (if you can't turn it off).
In the summer I usually stop every 2 - 2.5 hours(~250km) and charge for 10-15 minutes. At -30c I'd probably want to stop every ~150km, and charging would a little longer. Definitely not ideal for long trips at -30c, but I don't do long trips very often at that temperature, so it doesn't matter to me. The screen has the only speedometer in the car, so you can't cover it. I much prefer it now vs any other car, it's easier to read the information I need.
@@TeslaCampingCanada .. Thanks for the info. We're in Maine, and our forecast low for tonight is -16C .... a little chilly to be driving home from Portland (~140 km), especially on a highway with very little peripheral infrastructure. BUT, thanks to Elon Musk's horrific public outbursts, we've already decided NOT to buy a Tesla under any circumstances. If we get an all-electric vehicle, it'll be another brand.
So at -16c I lose about 30% range, so about 350km would be the max range. So you could do the whole trip on one charge, but ideally would want to charge a bit before the return trip to be safe.
Lost half your battery power driving 48 km and back after a 2 hour rest in -29C weather?
I used 35% of the battery to drive 96km.
Thank you. I was confusing range loss with power loss.@@TeslaCampingCanada
I can not wear an electric watch because of my magnetism.
lol park outside
That really seems to emphasize the point that coal fired vehicles are a bad idea in cold temperatures
Because they have more range loss than combustion vehicles in the cold? Well, it's a trade-off, winter range loss, but you gain the ability to refuel at home while you sleep, and can leave every morning with a "full tank".
Nice video. Shows that you can do a lot with EV. I am just at the beginning of the ev journey and have a plug-in hybrid as my company car, but after driving it for a week, noticed that even consumption on my diesel went down, because of how i drive😁 Will definetly consider full EV as my next car. Greetings from UK🤝🏻
Thanks!
😂
The only thing I would do is boycott Tesla and get a real American made gas or diesel engine vehicle so that one can contribute to global warming so that we could have warmer weather. Thanks for the info. Now I am more convinced to stay with old school cars and let the heat roll. 😎
Do a quick google, you'll find Teslas are actually the most American-made vehicles you can buy. The cars are made in either California or Texas, The cells and batteries and are made in either Nevada or Texas. The motors are made in Nevada. Etc etc etc...
@@TeslaCampingCanada yeah that’s ok I would never contribute to the green agenda. The global warming is a farce anyway. Nothing is more reliable then a gas or diesel engine and I pray for global warming so I wouldn’t have to deal with snow and cold
Guess it would depend on how much you drive, going back and forth to work probably wouldn’t be a huge deal, but going on long commutes would likely not be ideal for most people. Personally speaking, i don’t see how electric vehicles could realistically replace ICE vehicles, but i don’t see them being an issue as an additional option for those who want one.
