petrol and diesel cars had this (optional) feature for at least 30 years while the heater was plugged in to the socket but the last ~15 years Webasto had the car battery powered remote controlled pre-heaters.
I like the preheating and defrost features, but having some warm air in the trunk would be nice. In -6°C, my wife drove 45 km to work with the charging cable in the trunk. Upon reaching work, it took an additional 3 hours of defrosting before she could open the trunk and charge port to finally charge the M3 LR from December 2021.

One of my favorite features of the Tesla is that you can use a voice command to select a music melody. Even from which artist. In addition to playing your own lists (and others') from Spottify.
Well I hit the remote start button and my 2020 Civic comes to life. 20 min in -11F and you're good to go and I don't have a battery pack to worry about or range anxiety (I do a lot of rural backroads WI driving)
This idea deserve some attention. Superchargers already work most of the time on cold, but on extreme cold... there's a few that stopped working. Yes it's only a few, but having close 100% uptime would be nice to have. Surely there's energy that will be wasted for heating, but I'm sure tesla can try to minimize the waste with their software and analytics data (for example pre-heat the target supercharger when needed if someone navigates to it).
We took 4,000+ miles Christmas Road trip in our Tesla model 3 long range. Average temperature outside - minus 15 degrees Celsius. We had the best trip ever, Tesla is the best car out there right now. Completely stable on ice too, factory installed all weather tires. That's what not one but two engines (actually electric motors) do for you on ice. Thank you Tesla! ❤
@@markuschammas3056 never had a single issue with regenerative breaking. Drove on pure ice in the mountains in Colorado and then South Dakota.

Right????
I have an auto start on my truck that I use to preheat 10 minutes before I leave in the morning. I live in snow. This means my neighbors have to listen to and breath my exhaust every morning. Eager for my cybertruck

@@Minurz Yet no one knows to use it, you have to have something called a "starter", and you gotta go outside and make sure the little tailpipe is clear. AND you lose range. :)

Windshield was replaced under warranty. The guy at the service center told him to never use defrost or max temperature directly. He said heat the car for a few minutes... and then use defrost after that.
Yes. There’s a scheduled cabin condition feature that you can set a time for. Weekdays only or every day. This is for summer or winter where it can make the cabin comfortable for you. But even without that, if you do it manually, it’s pretty much ready by the time you use the bathroom and get dressed.
Tesla doesn't comment on the Chicago debacle, just posts a video on how to use your car smarter in the winter. I love it lol. I had no issues with the Model Y or the Taycan. You fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Serious question of curiosity, not a condescending question, if the cold kills the battery how can you preheat the vehicle? Or is there always enough residual battery to preheat?
If the low-current battery is also empty, this must be given a boost first to wake up the car before it can be charged. Normally, there will be enough current in the low current battery to start preheating and charging, even if the main battery is empty.
You dont even have to turn it on just set up your calendar and it will send the address and preheat on its own. I use a third party app but i think its part of Tesla as well. Nothing raises the cost of power like preheating outside in subzero temps. My alexa is connected and set on my wake up alarm with my coffee pot. Life is good FYI FSD works pretty decent on snow covered roads that arent to busy. The un insulated roof glass really has to be covered in winter and make sure you turn on the rear heater fan.
As someone who lives somewhere where it can often get very cold in winter but also very hot in summer, being able to toggle the climate control before even approaching my car is huge.
Im sure the people in Chicago dealing with winterin there evs will love this feature. Even though thousands were left stranded in there teslas cause the chargers failed in the cold. My friend 2014 car gas has this feature.
Can you make it configurable if the mirrors fold in please. In really icy weather outside my house I want the mirrors to stay out…. Saves defrost time as they get frozen in
It already IS configurable, under ‘mirrors’ in the settings. I always turn off automatic fold and tilt in winter to protect them from potential damage.
I just saw more FUD on this today. A UA-cam channel raving about EVs in Australia in the cold. All most likely from non-owners, people who probably never even drove an electric car.

look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh! The drivers in chicago needed to know and do this with extremely cold conditions before they drove to the charger so the battery is warm enough to accept a charge. Otherwise expect an extra 30 min at the charger wasting time and blocking others from charging. The news media didn't know this either.
Great feature at least you don't have to scrape of the snow of your car like those gasoline ones never fails to impress me with all your features and other things you make
You can just precondition without heating the cabin if the battery is low on charge. look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
If you advertise 300mi range, then in the cold, you are supposed to stay over 30% and only charge to 80%. So you are only using 50% capacity(150miles). If your range is cut by 30%, you are down to 100 miles or range after "filling up". To make matters worse for people who park outside or have no heating in their garages, the battery discharges to keep itself warm. So, if you lose 5-10% a day for battery maintenance, that's 10-20 miles out of your 100 mile usable range.
You can checkout all the videos of people who live in Canada and Alaska with Tesla as their only cars. They make it work just fine. Oh also all the Scandinavian countries that have like a 80% EV population and just last year they had over 50% of their vehicles sold be EVs. So clearly they work fine in the cold.
Fanboys gonna fan... Norway's entire population is like less than 5M. And the vast majority use public transportation in their daily commute, especially in the cities like Oslo. That's like the entire state of Alabama. The forecasted temps are in the mid-40s starting Monday. Chicago and Toronto are 10 degrees lower. Norwegian's well-heeled Tesla owners can spend thousands to have heated garages and chargers. There's no comparison.@@ProXcaliber
@@paranoidhumanoid You don't have to take my word for it. You can easily find videos of them doing test and all sorts of other things here on UA-cam fairly easily. One of my personal favorites is Bjørn Nyland, for content regarding this. He does all sorts of EV tests in very cold conditions, from all brands that offer EVs. Another good one is OutofSpecReviews. Again, feel free to look them up, I'm sure you can learn a thing or two about owning and living with an EV in cold climates and below freezing temperatures. This isn't like it was 10 or 13 years ago, and they've come a long way since those early days.
@@ProXcaliber VW cars had it 15 years ago... On key, you had a button to turn the heating inside a car... From modern cars, Volvo has an app to start your car, heating, whatever, Mercedes also has it, and so on.. Also, you have the company "Webasto" who have been making remote heaters for cars, trucks and so on, for more than 60 years... You Tesla fanboys need to relax, there are companies who are making cars for 100 years, and you think Tesla did something first haha Btw. Fun fact, do you know that the first car ever made, was electric? Now you know.

@@mr.anderson70Breathing in Carbon Monoxide for 20 seconds while you get in your car and back out of the garage isn't going to harm you in the slightest. Well, maybe a Tesla Snowflake, but what doesn't hurt those babies?😂
No, though the manual says not to let the car sit for long periods of time at temperatures lower than -40°C/F. Those are actual thermometer temps, as wind chill doesn't affect the internal temp of the battery packs. I have driven my Model 3 after it sat outside all night at -40°C and -38°C and the only noticeable thing was reduced acceleration due to the cold battery for a few minutes. The battery warmed up after a few minutes and then the car had full acceleration.

Nothing raises the cost of power like preheating outside in subzero temps. My alexa is connected and set on my wake up alarm with my coffee pot. Life is good FYI FSD works pretty decent on snow covered roads that arent to busy.
The un insulated roof glass really has to be covered in winter and make sure you turn on the rear heater fan.
my honda civic does this when i use the keys for remote start!
Yeah you gotta park outside though
@@RetroExhibitCollective shhhhhh
As someone who lives somewhere where it can often get very cold in winter but also very hot in summer, being able to toggle the climate control before even approaching my car is huge.
0:10 easter egg in the real view mirror
This is dope 😎 I can't wait to buy one
Easy!
Im sure the people in Chicago dealing with winterin there evs will love this feature. Even though thousands were left stranded in there teslas cause the chargers failed in the cold. My friend 2014 car gas has this feature.
Teslas have had this feature for many years, it's not new. People just don't read the manual.
Thousands???
Where do you get this from?
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!

Can you make it configurable if the mirrors fold in please. In really icy weather outside my house I want the mirrors to stay out…. Saves defrost time as they get frozen in
It already IS configurable, under ‘mirrors’ in the settings. I always turn off automatic fold and tilt in winter to protect them from potential damage.
Will model S get a redesign this year?
That is NICE for when you have it parked in the garage and need to heat it up before work or school
Comes standard on all models too at no extra cost 🤯
"Evs suck in the winter!! 😡"
Reality: 🍷🗿
I just saw more FUD on this today. A UA-cam channel raving about EVs in Australia in the cold. All most likely from non-owners, people who probably never even drove an electric car.
Not the reality. You don't own one and probably drive a base model Honda Civic.
@@URsooomad8613 I don't own one yet, planning to very soon, I've rented them 2 times before and it was great, also I have common sense so that helps, I know exactly what the reality is
@@nathansuss There it isss of course you don't own one😂 And the fact that you have had to rent cars in your past tells me you don't have enough cash to buy one soon, keep dreaming big tho lil homie!
@@URsooomad8613 they were rented for vacations with my parents so it made sense to try them out?? Bro talks like he knows anything about me lol. 21 years old and I can indeed afford one while still maxing out my Roth IRA, but thanks for the good luck 🤣
When is the new Performance model coming out?
This year ofc
Now how about that battery? Will that also defrost?
Does it work with a frozen battery that does not have enough charge because of the cold outside!?
No it does not
Well, no, but you don't need a clear windshield if you can't leave the driveway
Nope, and people are gonna find that out the hard way😂
Please explain what a frozen battery is?
Gotta love Tesla!❤
Well, the brain dead do.
No. No you don't.💀
@@TeslasRforTwinks yeah yeah I do🤓
@Elijahcaballero. That tells me you also love Men.
@@TeslasRforTwinks if you say so.. but now why would you say that
Love it.
Tesla's defrost function is powerful. The same feature exists in Hyundai, but it takes longer and doesn't work as well as Tesla.
sooo you're telling me all that Chicago had to do was click a button????????
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
The drivers in chicago needed to know and do this with extremely cold conditions before they drove to the charger so the battery is warm enough to accept a charge. Otherwise expect an extra 30 min at the charger wasting time and blocking others from charging. The news media didn't know this either.
Great feature at least you don't have to scrape of the snow of your car like those gasoline ones never fails to impress me with all your features and other things you make
This has been on gas cars for years and years💀 Do you ever leave your cave?😂
@@URsooomad8613Not as standard, and completely illegal in some countries.
You just lie and lie.
Name a country where it's illegal.@@fredbloggs5902
@fredbloggs5902 Nobody cares about other countries, and sounds like you can't afford it because you're a broke boi.
Sad, so sad.
@@fredbloggs5902 his comment did not lie, you're just feeling hella aggressive 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just hope Tesla continues to develop and further improve Teslas functionality in cold temperatures.
Remote control heated seats. Who wouldn't want such luxury ❤
Love how it uses 10% of your battery while doing it
Only if you leave it on for like 3 hours
You don’t own a Tesla
You can just precondition without heating the cabin if the battery is low on charge. look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
If you advertise 300mi range, then in the cold, you are supposed to stay over 30% and only charge to 80%. So you are only using 50% capacity(150miles). If your range is cut by 30%, you are down to 100 miles or range after "filling up". To make matters worse for people who park outside or have no heating in their garages, the battery discharges to keep itself warm. So, if you lose 5-10% a day for battery maintenance, that's 10-20 miles out of your 100 mile usable range.
if you care more about 1% of battery degradation because of fullcharging instead of your comfort and safety then i don't know what to say.
You can checkout all the videos of people who live in Canada and Alaska with Tesla as their only cars. They make it work just fine. Oh also all the Scandinavian countries that have like a 80% EV population and just last year they had over 50% of their vehicles sold be EVs. So clearly they work fine in the cold.
Fanboys gonna fan... Norway's entire population is like less than 5M. And the vast majority use public transportation in their daily commute, especially in the cities like Oslo. That's like the entire state of Alabama. The forecasted temps are in the mid-40s starting Monday. Chicago and Toronto are 10 degrees lower. Norwegian's well-heeled Tesla owners can spend thousands to have heated garages and chargers. There's no comparison.@@ProXcaliber
@@paranoidhumanoid You don't have to take my word for it. You can easily find videos of them doing test and all sorts of other things here on UA-cam fairly easily. One of my personal favorites is Bjørn Nyland, for content regarding this. He does all sorts of EV tests in very cold conditions, from all brands that offer EVs. Another good one is OutofSpecReviews. Again, feel free to look them up, I'm sure you can learn a thing or two about owning and living with an EV in cold climates and below freezing temperatures. This isn't like it was 10 or 13 years ago, and they've come a long way since those early days.
You don't need to stay over 30%. 10% is fine. Driving down to 0% is fine too, as long as you charge immediately.
One day Optimus will ride Teslas and do our errands for us 😁
You shoul implement that on the charger stations lol
Tesla stating to realize these little videos make a major marketing difference
Other cars had this feature 10 years ago 😂
What's next, Tesla rain sensors haha
@@jdalbion you just sound dumb when you exaggerate like that lol
@@jdalbion What other car?
@@jdalbionwhat other car as standard? Without going to a higher trim or paying extra for the option, or paying a subscription? I’d like to know.
@@ProXcaliber VW cars had it 15 years ago... On key, you had a button to turn the heating inside a car... From modern cars, Volvo has an app to start your car, heating, whatever, Mercedes also has it, and so on..
Also, you have the company "Webasto" who have been making remote heaters for cars, trucks and so on, for more than 60 years...
You Tesla fanboys need to relax, there are companies who are making cars for 100 years, and you think Tesla did something first haha
Btw. Fun fact, do you know that the first car ever made, was electric? Now you know.
Ahh yes, perfect for the Soviet Union!
And for all comrades!
my lawn caught fire. thanks elon
And it also heats your seats (front and back), heats your steering wheel, heats the windshield wipers. So much better than the old ICE 'remote start'.
And the side mirrors.
And there goes 50km
That costs 20% of your battery.
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh! Don't have to defrost if battery is low.
The drivers in chicago needed to know and do this before they drove to the charger so the battery is warm enough to accept a charge. Otherwise expect an extra 30 min at the charger wasting time and blocking others from charging.
nope. more like 3-5%
I have downloaded the app and tried it on my Peugeot 206 didn’t work! Do you have any idea?
because Peugeot is a very CRAPPY car.
As a resident of Chicago, I see this as an absolute win
Gay
Oh wow! A feature that most other cars on the market already have!
Thinking this is impressive/innovative is just sad and pitiful
Tesla stays taking Ls😂
Can they do it without starting their engines? Maybe warm the car up inside the garage with the door shut?
@@mr.anderson70Breathing in Carbon Monoxide for 20 seconds while you get in your car and back out of the garage isn't going to harm you in the slightest.
Well, maybe a Tesla Snowflake, but what doesn't hurt those babies?😂
Remote Start on ICE cars is NOT standard on many cars and is actually illegal in some countries.
@fredbloggs5902 If you can't afford it, then don't buy a car broke boi. And nobody cares about other countries or their laws🥱🥱
@@mr.anderson70 why do you need to defrost a car inside of a garage? seems like tesla brainrot is a real thing
Is there a temp at which the tesla has issues? I've been seeing videos of e-cars stuck because of the battery in the cold.
No, though the manual says not to let the car sit for long periods of time at temperatures lower than -40°C/F. Those are actual thermometer temps, as wind chill doesn't affect the internal temp of the battery packs. I have driven my Model 3 after it sat outside all night at -40°C and -38°C and the only noticeable thing was reduced acceleration due to the cold battery for a few minutes. The battery warmed up after a few minutes and then the car had full acceleration.
Not really, no. Only at temps where all other cars would have issues. Range drops when it gets colder of course.
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
awesome ❤ ❤ I love Tesla
brilliant!!
I do it every morning in nothern Italy, hell yeah!!!
Wow. I have a 2012 Diesel Audi S5 that has a Webasto auxiliary system that does exactly the same thing.
Tiny changes make every mans dream come true
