@@mluu510He is not talking about range staying good. He is talking about the heat pump which is the HVAC(heating ventilation and air conditioning) performing a good job. I guess almost every car in the world has great heating and cooling but maybe not as efficient as Tesla’s heat pump.
Tesla Model Y just works so well in every scenario. Had 38°C yesterday, and 6 months ago minus 30°C. Model Y rocks it all, best car ever driven. And I had more than 12 cars over my lifetime. Audi, Mercedes, Gm, Ford none were anywhere as good.

Your comment is on a website established in America and for a channel of an American company, and you're using the English language, so why are you using the inferior Celsius scale in your comment?
@@DEO777Inferior? I get the American company part, but calling the Celsius “inferior” is just absurd. Less than 5 countries on this planet uses your “superior” Fahrenheit scale. Just the amount of countries and users of the Celsius scale clearly indicate how the scale is in fact not “inferior”. Not to mention how easy it is to convert the Celsius to the scientifically accepted Kelvin scale. Just because America doesn’t use it, doesn’t mean it’s “inferior”.
Yes, this should be mentioned more frequently. I hate to pump gas on freezing mornings, just to get to work. Home charging + pre conditioning are underrated conveniences

@@Kensington2714 I'm not gonna lie, I use the "keep" option on the AC when I park. Nothing better than coming back from shopping to a cold car on a 105° day.
It's truly amazing how well the Model Y performs in Norway. I see the car EVERYWHERE here, in snowy mountains, mud roads, dense forest roads... people at all walks and jobs in life really love this car. It's a great car all around and the fact that it's an EV makes it so freaking fun to drive. I've never been in a car that handles the Norwegian climate so good before. Truly amazing products are rare but this is definitely one of them
USING my Tesla Model 3 Performance in the Austrian, Italian and the Swiss Alps for two years in deep snop, even steepest snow covered roads and icy curves the amazing all wheel drive performs like a snow-cat (even without chains)... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CAR!!!!! Done 52k km within Europe with it too.... a dream car for daily drives.
Thats my hometurf. Tesla engineers if you read this, the Y has a design problem in the wheel well lining. With cold temeratures and salted roads the slush/snow acumulates on the fabric like liners in the wheel wells. Last winter it almost rendered my car undrivable because it filled up and turned into some black glass like material that was impossible to remove.
It also builds up on the fabric like underbody panels, and rips them apart with weight. I replaced my underbody panels with aftermarket aluminium plates. But to be clear, this is a problem many cars from all manufacturers have. Most cars aren't built for long winters. Torn underbody panels are very common here.
I’ve driven our 2014 Model S through the Arizona deserts in the summer🌵 to the Canadian Rockies in the winter 🏔️ with no issues. Tesla’s BMS is the industry’s gold standard.
@@ElonMusk-ru6zhviens ouvrir une usine en Algérie 🇩🇿 il ya tout ce qu'il faut pour faire une bonne usine , énergie pas cher , bonne main d'oeuvre et un gouvernement au service du peuple .
@@nathanielschroeder1321What is that supposed to mean? Over 80% of all new cars sold in Norway are fully electric, another 10% plug in hybrid and 10% gasoline or diesel. They perform impressively well in the winter, better, in fact than gasoline cars. Not having to pump gas in the bitter cold, and getting heat into your cabin the second you start the car, being able to melt all the ice on your windscreen in 1-2 minutes, those are real nice-to-haves that makes owning an electric car here so good.
In February 2023 we were at the North Cape in Norway with our Tesla Model 3 Performance. It's amazing how well this technique works. While the diesel didn't want to start at -20 degrees, we were already on the road with our Tesla. That's the future!
HVAC works very well in cold weather, but there are two issues I wish you could look into: The windscreen washers only spray when the wipers are close to their "park position". That causes the wipers to be more or less dry when they hit the top of the windscreen, making it impossible to clean it no matter how long you use the washers. Only occurs in cold weather on salted roads. It's like having a constant layer of dirt on the windscreen that never goes away. Had this issue with my old 2021 Model 3, and same with my 2023 Model Y Performance. Make it spray washer fluid constantly for as long as the button is depressed, would make a huge difference. Other issue - please give us the option to turn off regen. Yes, I have track mode, but no - for daily driving it's not very practical. This is not only for safer driving in the snow, but also to be able to use the brakes properly to prevent rust. The rotors WILL rust if you don't pay extra attention to them, braking hard several times a week. Seen it on both of my Teslas. Also helps preventing the clunking noise that comes when shifting driving direction, sounding like the brake pads are loose, for some reason. Seems that some markets got this in a recent update, but not Norway, where it would make perfect sense.
@@GamoToTheoM No, «roll» only makes the car not come to a complete halt, just like an ordinary petrol or diesel car with an automstic transmisjon. At least that’s the way Tesla has set up this function in my area. Try a Performance and turn off regen in track mode - that’s what I want an easier option for 😊
You dont have to break hard, just shift in neutral and let the car roll, an then brake a bit, no need for hard braking and then shift back to D and continue driving, Its very important to do so, if you drove in wet wether conditions and you are about to parking the car. This way you prevent rust perfectly, cause you dry up the brakes and the brakes doesnt staying wet all night/day, which is the biggest problem here 👍
If this was re-edited into like 4, 30 second clips, it would make a REALLY good commercial series on TV, streaming, etc. If you can get them to show them all in one show, even better.
Live in MN with -50F windchill and 0 issues. At least my Tesla’s start up and have preheating while lots of the ICE cars are stuck with their engines having trouble starting…
Wind-chill of -50° is tough on people, but what sort of ambient temperature? At 0° F a 30-mph wind gives you a -49 wind-chill. Actual -35° F temperatures occur in most Minnesota winters (with below 0°F daily high temperature, sometimes for a couple weeks straight). Can I still do my 150-mile roundtrip commute? 🤔
People say you loose range in extreme cold. It’s almost like Tesla figured out preconditioning the battery AND cabin without ever needing to go outside. I don’t mind loosing range for the luxury of automatic de-icing and already warm cabin. There is a reason why many people with disabilities who can still drive want all electric with these features.
@@gus473So it’s only 75 miles each way, or are saying 150 each way of your round trip? The 1st should be doable. While I don’t own a Tesla, I’ve owned several EV and in MN extreme winters I usually only loose about 50 miles of range. Then again, none of my EVs had an LFP battery, so I would not go that route if you’re going to use them in the cold.
The first trip I did in my MY was right in the middle of that blizzard in the northeast in December 2022. Both supercharging and driving performed perfectly, even with stock tires. Was incredible!
I live in Canada and last winter we had more flash freezing days than usual. It was the first time I had to knock my door handles open and my window functions would not work correctly (flash froze). I had manually push up on my windows to close them. Then Tesla released handless unlock from the app. Don't think that'll resolve the windows though.
It's a 2018 Dual Motor Long range and an excellent reminder to me to turn climate control and window heating on 10 minutes before I get in the car in the winter. I usually park underground so I never need to preheat and forget to when I park outside.
Are you logging and uploading all geo location data, outdoor temperature and conditions, cabin heating or cooling settings, and cabin temperature and humidity; as well as variability of battery life operation in different conditions? You have the unique ability to have every car function as a sensor for complete data analysis. I live in Eastern Canada (Nova Scotia). A common stereotype I have about EVs is that the cabins are too cold in winter, don't heat up sufficiently, and that the battery drain (mileage per charge) is drastically reduced in cold weather climates.
Yes and no. Yes and no. The cabin is definitely not too cold in the winter. It blasts out heat immediately. I've found that mileage per charge isn't that bad in cold weather if you do long trips. What really kills total mileage are repeated short trips when it's cold cause you're using a lot of energy to heat the car again and again instead of just once. The thing is... if you're only doing short trips, does it really matter that much?
I live in Norway and would never willingly go back to freezing my proverbial body parts off while waiting for the combustion engine to heat up. You lose some range, so you charge a little more. No big deal in my opinion.
@@Tschacki_QuackiOur family driving schedule is almost entirely short trips. We'd definitely have no trouble making up for any loss in range with more frequent winter charging. Thanks for the info. There's a segment of the population that are anti-EV, and it's hard to determine real feedback versus dismissive conjecture.
1-The cabins are not too cold. 2-They heat up instantly because they have heaters instead of using the heat from the engine. Meaning you don't need to "warm up" your car before driving off. -Range does suffer in cold weather. Mostly due to the HVAC having to warm up the car. I'd say 30-40% range loss. My 2018 Model 3 is at ~500km on full charge, but in cold weather, I'd be lucky to get 350km. Still no problem for daily commute. For roads trips, supercharges tend to be about 250kms apart so it's usually no problem. It just means an extra charging stop. The thing that sucks about Tesla in winter is freezing rain jamming up the framless windows, auto-folding mirrors(you can turn off auto-fold) and flat door handles.
Since they're doing the testing on cars that are already sold (I assume this is current footage), do the test results get incorporated in future versions of these cars? For example in future minor incremental changes, or the few major overhauls?
Just wanna throw it out there; kudos to Tesla for actually having a global mindset and not being US centric only. As a European that is much appreciated!
I came back from my holiday in Sicily yesterday. It was up to 40°C the indoor temperature was even 60°C at one point. 7 months ago I was on a winter holiday in Norway at -24°C. The Model Y LR has been through it all so far.
I arrived at Lake Placid with 23% charge on my MY in -23°F weather, woke up the next morning with 0% charge. Car made it the 1.2 miles to the SC on 0% charge but boy was that nerve-wracking.
Three winter adjustments I would like to see. 1. I live in rural Canada and the cross winds in the winter make white out a regular occurrence. If a snowplow goes by or a large drifting area with wind it causes 100% white out, I use to have my radar locked on to the car Infront of me and slow if the lead car hit their brakes. If I enter the white out and hit my breaks, I am most likely to be rearended. Unfortunately, with the radar disabled and only using cameras I have lost this very valuable safety feature. (a radar map just showing obstacles I would be able to see through the snow). 2. I would like to be able to turn regen 100% off for very icy roads. When driving over black ice and taking my foot off the accelerator the car will fish tail. 3. Weather radar map overlay.
Tesla doesn't care about how they ruined our cars by removing the radar. Simply terrible but would be worse for Tesla if they had an owner of a "Vision"-car trying out how much better the cars was while using the radar. (And not having the terrible forced used of "auto"-wipers/"Auto"-dim.). Greed, greed & greed.
@@logitech4873 Its against the law here to brake suddenly without any reason and if proven by witnesses or cameras, you get the blame. Beside that, its terrible a manufacturer can be allowed to make such flawed cars especially with the amount of stories Tesla has told about being safe(st) cars to drive. Sure are, as long as its the cheapest way to produce them it seems.
@@ChipMIK Brake without reason? I thought we were talking about whiteouts. In 100% whiteouts you should OBVIOUSLY come to a complete and full stop. If zero visibility isn't a reason for stopping, what is?
@@logitech4873 You doesn't seem to read what he´s saying about stopping and why the radar was so fantastic. There might be reasons why you dont just stop watching clips of highway accidents where people just drive full speed into that cloud of 0 visibility. But surely that part is insanely wrong, but removal of the radar make it a lot worse now that people sadly do that.
Snow chains? You have no idea what you're talking about. Snow chains are for emergencies only if you need to suddenly equip something for snow grip. But everyone in Norway changes to winter tires before the first snow settles. Studded winter tires are standard in Northern Norway.
@@ElonMusk-ru6zh Bangladesh. It's so unfortunate that Tesla isn't available in Bangladesh. But soon I'm thinking of starting to live in the US and work in one of the Tesla's Gigafactories there. :-)
That's good, but please read this feedback too: on 2019 Model 3 rear door lock hinge was freezing to the door in -15C to the point that I had to constantly lube it and wipe excess water from melting snow with cloth. One time we had a road trip and a rear door was frozen, I couldn't open it for hours and because of attempts to open it the car started to show it as open but the lock was still frozen so I had to drive with annoying warning about open door for hours, autopilot couldn't kick in, it was a disaster. Other times I had to park in shopping mall warm garage just to get it unfreeze. I think the issue is/was that the drain water from melting snow naturally goes into the rear door hinge under gravity and due to the angle and when negative degrees hit it freezes the lock in the door to the hinge on the car frame. So far on 2022 Model 3 I haven't seen this, but I also park in warm garage now instead of leaving the car on the street so I can't tell if the problem is fundamentally solved.
@@logitech4873 it’s not a seal problem but a latch issue I think, because if you open the door while it’s heavy snowing or some snow falls from the roof onto open part it will fall on that sloped angle body part where the latch is and if you don’t clean it will melt and refreze again
Could we please get the option to add Vent windows to the main screen? I like this option a lot but it’s only on the phone app and won’t work unless the car is in park. I like how all four windows go down the same amount (OCD?).
Please let us disable the regen breaking on icy roads on the model Y. It is super dangerous to ease off the gas paddle, The car Regen is dangerous on icy roads.
There used to be regen selection in previous software versions in 2022 when we had a model 3 rental, but when we got our new Model 3 last week it looks like that option is gone now?
@@tabxtra7057 Yes. Tesla have been back and forth on this, but I have it in a Model 3 in software version 2023.26.7 at least. I don't remember it being gone from my car, but if so, that probably happened in summer, since I use the standard regen then.
It will be cool if Tesla adds a self clean feature for the radiator/condenser coils. Imagine connecting either air or water supply to an external easy-to-reach port and a sweep and wash cycle is initiated. That will be awesome and a game changer.
@bigguh1 I'm aware of cooling efficiency been reduced because of debris clogs. Cleaning off the debris restores efficiency, but it's not easy to get to the fins.
No electricity for heater? Or moving 3 feet every 30 seconds or lose of charge due to temp and lights and wipers on. Prove it is all I am saying. We want to see it in cold metropolitan areas please.
@@markdaly5011 Yes, the heater uses electricity. But the batteries in these cars are enormous - they can drive the heater for days. Lights and wipers spend basically no energy. You need to sit down and do some maths, it's clear you haven't.
From the Tesla Service manual - "Condensation in Head or Tail Lights Due to weather changes, humidity levels, or recent exposure to water (such as a car wash), condensation may occasionally accumulate in your vehicle’s head or tail lights. This is normal-" Glad that is considered "within spec" for a Tesla lol. 🤣
It's normal if it disappears again since it's a breathing system. If droplets form and permanently stay there, it's bad. This isn't Tesla specific. Look up other manufacturer manuals.
surprised to see so many boats in the water at the marina...guess that water never freezes enough to be a problem. Good video but would have liked to see how they test battery performance in these conditions.
Do the cars regulate the battery and electronics in extreme heat and cold? I keep activating COP and the A/C to prevent overheating, but there's no clear answer as to if that's necessary.
Those features are only for your comfort and maybe for the safety of items within the cabin. The car itself does not need any of this and doesn't care. If you don't have something sensitive in the car, you only need to activate A/C a few minutes before you get in the car.
Thank you , you two. I was hoping that was the case. Was this said at a shareholder meaning, Tweeted by Tesla or Elon, or documented anywhere else, or is this just first-hand experience?
@@Mountain_Drew They included a section in the manual that specifically adresses this question since it has popped up so many times across owners and interested people. quote: "This feature is intended for passenger comfort and has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components."

I live in Canada and last winter we had more flash freezing days than usual. It was the first time I had to knock my door handles open and my window functions would not work correctly (flash froze). I had manually push up on my windows to close them. Then Tesla released handless unlock from the app. Don't think that'll resolve the windows though.
It's a 2018 Dual Motor Long range and an excellent reminder to me to turn climate control and window heating on 10 minutes before I get in the car in the winter. I usually park underground so I never need to preheat and forget to when I park outside.

Are you logging and uploading all geo location data, outdoor temperature and conditions, cabin heating or cooling settings, and cabin temperature and humidity; as well as variability of battery life operation in different conditions? You have the unique ability to have every car function as a sensor for complete data analysis.
I live in Eastern Canada (Nova Scotia). A common stereotype I have about EVs is that the cabins are too cold in winter, don't heat up sufficiently, and that the battery drain (mileage per charge) is drastically reduced in cold weather climates.
Yes and no.
Yes and no. The cabin is definitely not too cold in the winter. It blasts out heat immediately. I've found that mileage per charge isn't that bad in cold weather if you do long trips. What really kills total mileage are repeated short trips when it's cold cause you're using a lot of energy to heat the car again and again instead of just once. The thing is... if you're only doing short trips, does it really matter that much?
I live in Norway and would never willingly go back to freezing my proverbial body parts off while waiting for the combustion engine to heat up. You lose some range, so you charge a little more. No big deal in my opinion.
@@Tschacki_QuackiOur family driving schedule is almost entirely short trips. We'd definitely have no trouble making up for any loss in range with more frequent winter charging. Thanks for the info. There's a segment of the population that are anti-EV, and it's hard to determine real feedback versus dismissive conjecture.
@@joewardpr You're welcome.
The naysayers have lost me a long time ago. Happy since 50.000km
1-The cabins are not too cold.
2-They heat up instantly because they have heaters instead of using the heat from the engine. Meaning you don't need to "warm up" your car before driving off.
-Range does suffer in cold weather. Mostly due to the HVAC having to warm up the car. I'd say 30-40% range loss. My 2018 Model 3 is at ~500km on full charge, but in cold weather, I'd be lucky to get 350km.
Still no problem for daily commute. For roads trips, supercharges tend to be about 250kms apart so it's usually no problem. It just means an extra charging stop.
The thing that sucks about Tesla in winter is freezing rain jamming up the framless windows, auto-folding mirrors(you can turn off auto-fold) and flat door handles.
Since they're doing the testing on cars that are already sold (I assume this is current footage), do the test results get incorporated in future versions of these cars? For example in future minor incremental changes, or the few major overhauls?
2015 Model S daily driver is awesome 👏
Lucky you, now having the terrible "Vision" in your car, removing the radars functionality like many of us.
Great Vid
Just wanna throw it out there;
kudos to Tesla for actually having a global mindset and not being US centric only. As a European that is much appreciated!

I came back from my holiday in Sicily yesterday. It was up to 40°C the indoor temperature was even 60°C at one point. 7 months ago I was on a winter holiday in Norway at -24°C. The Model Y LR has been through it all so far.

The Tesla team has done an incredible job with their Octovalve HVAC 🔋⚡️🚘
Please Tesla team don’t kill the outside temperature sensor, satellite data is not enough. 🙏
Agree, it's a must to have.
This is crucial . How long u can keep car warm (inside) in case of accident on out side temp -25?
Can you also do a extreme panel gap testing
Thanks for such beautiful cars;)🤝
I arrived at Lake Placid with 23% charge on my MY in -23°F weather, woke up the next morning with 0% charge. Car made it the 1.2 miles to the SC on 0% charge but boy was that nerve-wracking.
Haha lesson learned. What model year?
@@logitech4873 2020
I love my tesla in -45° 😎 don’t even have a heat pump (2018 model 3) and it’s still fabulous.
Three winter adjustments I would like to see.
1. I live in rural Canada and the cross winds in the winter make white out a regular occurrence. If a snowplow goes by or a large drifting area with wind it causes 100% white out, I use to have my radar locked on to the car Infront of me and slow if the lead car hit their brakes. If I enter the white out and hit my breaks, I am most likely to be rearended. Unfortunately, with the radar disabled and only using cameras I have lost this very valuable safety feature. (a radar map just showing obstacles I would be able to see through the snow).
2. I would like to be able to turn regen 100% off for very icy roads. When driving over black ice and taking my foot off the accelerator the car will fish tail.
3. Weather radar map overlay.
Tesla doesn't care about how they ruined our cars by removing the radar. Simply terrible but would be worse for Tesla if they had an owner of a "Vision"-car trying out how much better the cars was while using the radar. (And not having the terrible forced used of "auto"-wipers/"Auto"-dim.). Greed, greed & greed.
Do you really drive that close to each other in those conditions?
@@logitech4873 Its against the law here to brake suddenly without any reason and if proven by witnesses or cameras, you get the blame. Beside that, its terrible a manufacturer can be allowed to make such flawed cars especially with the amount of stories Tesla has told about being safe(st) cars to drive. Sure are, as long as its the cheapest way to produce them it seems.
@@ChipMIK Brake without reason? I thought we were talking about whiteouts. In 100% whiteouts you should OBVIOUSLY come to a complete and full stop.
If zero visibility isn't a reason for stopping, what is?
@@logitech4873 You doesn't seem to read what he´s saying about stopping and why the radar was so fantastic. There might be reasons why you dont just stop watching clips of highway accidents where people just drive full speed into that cloud of 0 visibility. But surely that part is insanely wrong, but removal of the radar make it a lot worse now that people sadly do that.
Cant wait to bulldoze my X through the winter soon!
I LOVEEEE YOUUUU TESLA😊

Mildly cold with heavy snow could be more tough condition. Snow melt daytime, frozen in the night.
My model y has been fine in the summer here in Texas but it’s been draining the crap out of my battery. Getting less 200miles from 90%
Tesla for the _COLD TESTING WIN_
Hands down the BEST (!)
Last Christmas my Parents came to north Finnland to picke me up after my Erasmus Semester. -20 Degrees and everything worked out well
*Driving without snow chain...., then this must be a "Extreme Cold Crash Test"* 💀
Snow chains???? Proper winter tires will do just fine :)
Snow chains? You have no idea what you're talking about.
Snow chains are for emergencies only if you need to suddenly equip something for snow grip. But everyone in Norway changes to winter tires before the first snow settles. Studded winter tires are standard in Northern Norway.
This company has a ton of potential. I dream to work at Tesla.

That's good, but please read this feedback too: on 2019 Model 3 rear door lock hinge was freezing to the door in -15C to the point that I had to constantly lube it and wipe excess water from melting snow with cloth. One time we had a road trip and a rear door was frozen, I couldn't open it for hours and because of attempts to open it the car started to show it as open but the lock was still frozen so I had to drive with annoying warning about open door for hours, autopilot couldn't kick in, it was a disaster. Other times I had to park in shopping mall warm garage just to get it unfreeze.
I think the issue is/was that the drain water from melting snow naturally goes into the rear door hinge under gravity and due to the angle and when negative degrees hit it freezes the lock in the door to the hinge on the car frame.
So far on 2022 Model 3 I haven't seen this, but I also park in warm garage now instead of leaving the car on the street so I can't tell if the problem is fundamentally solved.
I haven't had this issue at all on my 2019 model 3, so it might have been a seal problem.
@@logitech4873 it’s not a seal problem but a latch issue I think, because if you open the door while it’s heavy snowing or some snow falls from the roof onto open part it will fall on that sloped angle body part where the latch is and if you don’t clean it will melt and refreze again
Did you take it to a service center?
Could we please get the option to add Vent windows to the main screen? I like this option a lot but it’s only on the phone app and won’t work unless the car is in park. I like how all four windows go down the same amount (OCD?).

That's cool and all but can you show us Highland already?
Nice
Please let us disable the regen breaking on icy roads on the model Y. It is super dangerous to ease off the gas paddle, The car Regen is dangerous on icy roads.
I set mine to chill mode and low regen in the winter, that seems to calm it down considerably in difficult conditions.
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 you can choose low regen???
There used to be regen selection in previous software versions in 2022 when we had a model 3 rental, but when we got our new Model 3 last week it looks like that option is gone now?
@@tabxtra7057 Yes. Tesla have been back and forth on this, but I have it in a Model 3 in software version 2023.26.7 at least. I don't remember it being gone from my car, but if so, that probably happened in summer, since I use the standard regen then.
@@tabxtra7057 Yes, update your firmware!
It will be cool if Tesla adds a self clean feature for the radiator/condenser coils.
Imagine connecting either air or water supply to an external easy-to-reach port and a sweep and wash cycle is initiated. That will be awesome and a game changer.
Are you saying this because you have experienced issues with those coils?
@bigguh1 I'm aware of cooling efficiency been reduced because of debris clogs. Cleaning off the debris restores efficiency, but it's not easy to get to the fins.
Any results?
Try doing this in rush hour traffic where you are going 0-10 mph for 2 hours in 30 below Fahrenheit!
Even easier ! EVs use barely any electricity stuck in traffic ! Much better than a gas car!
That's like a super easy scenario for an EV. They use very little energy when standing still.
No electricity for heater? Or moving 3 feet every 30 seconds or lose of charge due to temp and lights and wipers on. Prove it is all I am saying. We want to see it in cold metropolitan areas please.
@@markdaly5011 Yes, the heater uses electricity. But the batteries in these cars are enormous - they can drive the heater for days. Lights and wipers spend basically no energy.
You need to sit down and do some maths, it's clear you haven't.
@@markdaly5011 There is a UA-camr that tested it in Norway already. bjorn nyland
From the Tesla Service manual - "Condensation in Head or Tail Lights
Due to weather changes, humidity levels, or recent exposure to water (such as a car wash), condensation may occasionally accumulate in your vehicle’s head or tail lights. This is normal-"
Glad that is considered "within spec" for a Tesla lol. 🤣
It's normal if it disappears again since it's a breathing system. If droplets form and permanently stay there, it's bad.
This isn't Tesla specific. Look up other manufacturer manuals.
surprised to see so many boats in the water at the marina...guess that water never freezes enough to be a problem. Good video but would have liked to see how they test battery performance in these conditions.
Salt water. Gulf Stream keeps the ocean at a high enough temp.
-27 is not even close to "Extreme Cold" 😁😅
It's colder than most people will ever experience.
Do the cars regulate the battery and electronics in extreme heat and cold? I keep activating COP and the A/C to prevent overheating, but there's no clear answer as to if that's necessary.
Those features are only for your comfort and maybe for the safety of items within the cabin. The car itself does not need any of this and doesn't care.
If you don't have something sensitive in the car, you only need to activate A/C a few minutes before you get in the car.
I’ve seen the car regulate itself to cool down the battery in hot days just sitting in the sun. That’s without the overheat protection
Thank you , you two. I was hoping that was the case. Was this said at a shareholder meaning, Tweeted by Tesla or Elon, or documented anywhere else, or is this just first-hand experience?
@@Mountain_Drew They included a section in the manual that specifically adresses this question since it has popped up so many times across owners and interested people.
quote: "This feature is intended for passenger comfort and has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components."
@@Tschacki_Quacki Yeah, I read that, which is why I started to question whether it was necessary, but it's not explicit enough for me :P But I'll just take your word for it.
how do you solve the wiper ice freezing? and frozen charger port?
I've never experienced either of those things happening. Door handles and windows however...
