Vitor, It's not possible to determine if a scale is linear from two data points. I'm not sure why people tend to think basing a temperature scale around waters freezing and boiling points is vastly superior to a more relate-able human based scale, but clearly you just wanted to mock Fahrenheit.
Tyres are fine. They are cold and been resting in one spot and shaped a flat spot. We get that all the time in Alberta Canada. Drive it and they'll warm up.
sometimes i get ice build ups on the brakes, thats pretty annoying the steering wheels just vibrates for like a good 20 min drive until the ice falls off, but that mostly happens because of snow and winds over a day or night and the car wasnt covered from it
@@dmitrid8170 AYE, in alberta, -40 would cause throttle linkage to freeze up in older cars even oiled well. Couldn't actually drive the car until the engine block warmed the engine bay enough to use the gas pedal without it getting stuck open. Red line cold start and -40'C isn't great for an engine I think.
About the power steering 'freezing up': the car has electric power steering and I don't think it uses any hydraulic fluid. But just like all ICE cars, most on-board systems in a Tesla work under a 12V-circuit, not directly from the high-voltage battery. If Tesla had to redevelop every system to fit its own circuitry, it would cost them billions. That's why they buy their hardware from standard automotive suppliers, which still heavily rely on 12V-networks. So my hypothesis is that the 12V-battery is suffering from the cold and therefore the car is powering down high 12V-consumers, like the power steering, the TACC (radar eats up quite a lot of electrons, too) etc. The heater for the car draws its power from the HV-battery, which is why that still works fine. But again: it's just a theory. About the tire pressure: the air inside the tires 'shrinks' due to the cold, therefore tire pressure drops. Below a certain level, the TP warning goes off, but that shouldn't alarm you too much. That's why the message went away after some driving: it creates quite a lot of heat in the tires, making the air inside expand again. For the rest: thank you very much for risking your own safety so that we can learn from your experiments!
Actually, Model Y is rumored to be the first Tesla that runs on main battery only. The 12V Battery is finally old news. Fewer problems and fewer parts that can brake. Love it.
I’ve seen worse on ICE. In -35 my car with manual gearbox I had to use force to operate. Tire issues are normal in those conditions. Steering issues also common. Below -30 deg Celsius is extreme. Just wonder if you experienced this your self if you think no other car will suffer the same problems. Especially during a night in it you should be very happy if it will start at all.
I had an old and weak battery on my ICE car. Power steering not immediately kicking in when starting the car was usually the first sign that battery was low.
@kasmo paya it'll likely still have a 12v or 24v system for lights etc, they'll just run directly from the DC-DC converter which will run all the time instead. Much simpler but keeps the safety aspect of low voltage.
It’s not oxygen you need to worry about - it’s CO2 build-up. You should not use recirculating air when you sleep overnight in the car. Keep bringing fresh air in, and the car’s vents will dump old air overboard.
@@karolakkolo123 No...we're saying that humans inhale air(oxygen+the other 80% of shit in the air) and exhale CO2. Breathe into a shopping bag for a little bit and let me know how that goes for you. I can't tell if you're joking but I guess let this be knowledge for anyone: The Avg human releases 2.3 pounds a day of CO2..6 hours of sleep and there is half a lb of CO2 recirculating in his car. 2.3lbs is based off normal activity and does not reflect physical exercise or other strenuous activity.. There is a real risk of people shrugging off the symptoms of CO2 poisoning and dying, Especially sleeping in a car as airtight as a Tesla. Symptoms of poising include headache, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, weakness and confusion. However, Bjorn did mention that the Tesla does automate the AC, and it brings in fresh air from the outside (not sure the frequency or if air qual. in car is monitored). The problem is also amplified if Bjorn is awake, driving, and not bringing fresh air in his cabin or stepping out for long periods of time. Quote by Dr Gisli Jenkins, University of Nottingham: "By the time that the carbon dioxide levels in the air that you breathe reach 15% you’ll effectively die. Assuming the box is about 4 cubic meters it would take about 16 hours or so. But you would actually start to feel ill and probably die a lot sooner than that. Actually it could be down to, sort of, five hours."
Here its -15 on average but the siberian wind from russia has arrived in Norway and now it feels like -25 or less and yes we still have to walk to school.
Lots of us Canadians don't change out to winter tires either :P, a good set of all seasons works pretty well for most people. Although our country is armed to the teeth with snow removal equipment so we don't see many total shutdowns.
Bjørn, the -60 you are reading is the temp of the sky. the hood reflect part of the infrared i think just like most metal does. so it,s like a mirror but for the infra red.
One time there was frost on my car when all thermometers at all levels were reading well above freezing, but on a clear night of course. But no frost anywhere else. I thought evaporative cooling might be a factor. But infrared. ..
Usually, you would get a reading like that on the shiny surface. Not too surpriced. But it looked like it also showed around -60 on the rubber on the wheels as well, which definitely isn't shiny. Might be that the poor IR camera is struggling calibrating itself in the cold weather as well?
@@fshjdkfhasdkfhsd frost is funny. In Oregon this winter cars were getting frost only on the horizontal faces. Hood roof. Also it wasn't below freezing. Like space was vacuuming up the heat
Yes emissivity is a problem when sensing thermal. It can be compensated in the settings but you need to know the values of the material being targeted.
The day before your tires was warm and soft and when it is cold outside it happens that tires get a flat. It's not dangerous, it starts to get the shape again. Greetings from Finland
At these temperatures the tires will be rigid and not round, same with shock absorbers also get rigid due to the liquid inside them being so cold. I notice this on my fossil car as well.
Republic3D the tyres will become rigid yes. The model X was sitting stationary for like 7 hours and temperatures around -36C. Where the tyre contacted the ground, it forms a flat spot. That flat spot became “permanent” until the tyre temperature increased making it more pliable.
I'm guessing that's for all-season or summer tires. I've never had this happen to winter tires at sub -40C temperatures. Edit: It's likely because he was in warm weather the day before and immediately went into cold weather.
@@leekent414 well that depends on if the tires are actually not plyable at this temp. I imagine they are tough but not rock rigid. Rolling tires causes deformation because there is (except on really low profile sport tires) a crushed down portion at the contact area. The tire continuously folding and unfolding around the circumstance. This creates friction in amongst the molecules and heat. There are cool videos where someone puts a gopro inside the wheel and drives.
Bjørn since 3 years ago this have been my yearly pre christmas video for some reason, just love the whole concept sleeping in a warm cozy car in extreme cold temperature 😅❄️
Bjørn, i adore you polar bear. You really do the crazy things in the cold. Interesting since I tried to sleep over night in my Model S in moderate cold temperature 4°C. The battery was at 130 km range. But I under-estimated the energy that was needed to heat the car inside overnight. So I ended up at the 10% battery range point. That switched off the inside heater. It gave me a warning message on the IC, saying that it is now saving battery. That was at 4:30 in the morning. So I decided to start work a little earlier and firstly rolled to the supercharger. Since my experience was only a test. I didn't want to drive home and back in back in icy conditions after working late the night before. !!! But your adventures of a far, far greater !!!
The melting/freezing and boiling points change with pressure. The boiling point of water varies with atmospheric pressure. At lower pressure or higher altitudes, the boiling point is lower. At sea level, pure water boils at 212 °F (100°C).

Not only handle the cold but handle frozen terrain. Tesla is far far superior to other cars on snow and ice. The computer monitors the wheels thousands of times a second and reacts just as quickly. You might think because it was developed in warm sunny SoCal they would overlook things but I assure you that team is smarter than the average bear.
0:14 Sounds like a herd of Reindeer crossing the road or something. Totally awesome video Bjørn. You got big cohones spending the night in the car in those temperatures. Thanks for doing all the R&D so we don't have to ;)
what an interesting video! cool guy, bit curious with his behavior but exactly like a goofy friend we all have ! love the random use of cards for everything, spilling water, sleeping in the car.. lovely content! love youtube for things like this
The little little low tire pressure issue. It's because because of the cold outside. Experienced it self when its really cold. The air shrink when its cold.
Tip I learnt, to warm up the car quicker and more evenly use the footwell vents because hot air rises. Reverse is true in the summer, cool quicker with the top vents.
They are also bigger and shorter. The dash vents piping sits in the air chamber behind the dash and the small vents mix the air so quickly it feels cold. The dash air also gets cold passing through the chamber. In the summer the big battle is cooling all the interior plastic and foam. Black dash sitting in direct sunlight. I always have the windows wide open with a/c for a bit till that sweltering radiant heat stops hitting me from all angles.
Your excitement with the freezing water reminded me of myself when I first moved to Northern Alberta! Next thing you should try is blowing bubbles. haha! I'd like to point out to anyone that doesn't live in a cold climate that every issue that Bjørn had due to cold, wold also be there with an ICE car. Even the reduced range.
Great test Bjørn. This is very helpful information for DreamCase also ! We believe it could be awesome to go car camp in the winter, and not only summer time. It could make for a great alternative to renting cabins in ski-slopes.
While you're driving it says -38 C... damn. But it actually got down to -42 C in Norway this winter so it can get very cold indeed. I'd love for Tesla to start to implement some sort of fast battery heating system.
Was -41°C on wednesday or tuesday. Remeber filling diesel in -27°C , better just plugging in and getting warm inside the car. EV's can run the heater without exsost that is a hudge benefitt.
Typical cold weather problems like that here in Finland. Gear shifts are slow/stiff. Tyres are like square shaped. Power steering makes weird noise. I'm amazed that tesla even works on that temperature. This video seriously changes my doubts agains tesla..
Cool video. My own trip yesterday makes so much more sense. I was driving my Twizy after leaving it for 2 days out in the cold. (only like -15 c tho) The sound from the engine was different, steering was harder and i had a battery temperature warning. Kinda cold to drive without heater or windows :-)
19:19 your car does not have power steering fluid no Tesla does or any full battery electric vehicle has power steering fluid. It has a electric motor which helps you turn the wheel it does most of the work you just have to turn it slightly.
In your opening shot, outside the car, you are wearing a jacket that looks like what i would wear for a spring jacket. Can't believe you aren't wearing a parka and warm hat! You must be one tough Viking!
Amazing stuff. Would have loved to ride live with you in that kind of cold. Also very bold to put the car in range mode over night. I know why you did it, because of range the other day. But if it where my car, i wouldn't want the battery to reach the cold temperature where the snow flake appears. Its not good for the battery at all. I know it takes time to cool down the battery but as we saw -36 degrees does the trick pretty fast. Thank you for doing this to your car. I wouldn't have the balls to do it for sure.
Not sure, it destroyed my Smartphone battery very fast. But i charged it with too cold battery, that can not happen with tesla. I think too that heat is more damaging. But isn't the battery warranty void if one lets the car sit in -20degrees for about 24h without battery heater on? Or something like that?
Hey Bjorn be careful scratching the frost off the inside of the rear window I've damaged my defrost wires doing that in the past. Besides that another Great video!
Hahaha, first time experiencing the 'square tires' thing. Happens here all the time in the winter! Just drive normally (which means slowly in extreme cold) and the ride smooths out after a while, no big deal. Even winter tires harden up under -25 or so. It's always fun to watch people experience extreme cold for the first time.
Wow - interesting factfinding mission TB, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is tweeted to Elon - more consuming proving. At somepoint they must give you a job :-)
It's a common phenomenon in trucking in winter. I simply didn't exceed 80 kilometers until the tires warmed up and the thumping went away. You won't damage anything if you simply use common sense. I would be using cruise control all the time. Steering assist failure simply means the steering motor was detected using way more current than normal. The power steering is 100 percent electric, no hydraulics whatsoever. As the tires warm up your low tire warnings will go away. Welcome to the world of extreme cold weather driving. It won't prevent you from getting where you want to go but it will open your eyes. Cheers!
I just calculated how much range I would "lose" idling and heating in my 86 for 6 hours. Turns out it would be very similar value, about 80km of range! ;
0:33 turns around and sees slenderman in the car. P.S.: Temperature radtation goes with the temperature difference to the power of 4. So if it's "twice as cold" (-37°C instead of -6°C if your surface is 25°C), you radiate away 16x more energy. Also does the hood stand in thermal contact with upper sky layers which are colder than the surrounding (the reason why it gets cold at all and why windows may get icy while temperature is above o°C). So it can actually have less than -37°C.
Your Flir..it could be -60. Black body radiation might drop it that far. You're parked out in the open..so possible. What a testimony to the robustness of the Tesla. This is valuable info. I suspect when you were first driving things got colder with the wind and all.
I'm thinking of winter list for Tesla driving: - 12V jump pack? - Insulated tent for car with way to safely warm inside tent, to fix issues such as cold oils, cold battery maybe, etc. - Full size spare battery or two - Usual insulating things and blankets like you pointed out as well as cold weather survival gear - Maybe a satellite phone known to work in that area - Know who to call in those situations - Caravan with others with similar backup capabilities? - Maybe a way to add charge if you are far from charging location; I'm not sure if the Model X can physically carry enough solar panels, islanding inverters, inverter battery and HPWC to charge the car fast enough to keep the car warm enough to recharge in that temperature?
@@jonbaklien8028 Do you mean chest freezer? All household freezers chill to 0*F Sushi freezers chill to -20*F Either one would be warm in comparison. I think they make sleeping bags for ice expeditions that are rated to -20 but you would probably be uncomfortable.
Steering assist was reduced due to a detected issue. In ford vehicles if there is an issue with P/S or steering assist the assist feature will be reduced or disabled automatically. to lessen any further damage to the system. I believe that was the case with the steering issue. Likely the temperature reduced the batteries output causing some systems to be affected and deemed inoperable by the PCM or whatever Tesla's have. The tires either had snow attached to them or the run-flat system inside was sitting too long in too low temperatures and the rubber/foam was "molded" (for lack of a better word) with a temporary flat spot.
from Alberta Canada, never had any trouble with my 03 340k km Subaru forester, not plugged in it will start in -40. only thing that changes is cruse control won't work for the first 5min or so. use the right oil and get a car thats not complete crap and you should be fine. (not a happy start, but went after 2-3 4s cranks)
would be nice to see pictures of an infrared camera to see where the heat loss happens at those low temps. And I think if the care was perfectly sealed there should be a real problem with oxygen don't you think?
Waldiltis Well...off course gases escape from the car. The trick is to let it escape at least as fast as you are adding it. So ventilate ;). And then keep the concentration of CO2 below dangerous or uncomfortable levels.
His breathing caused the ice, well that and cold. A tighter fitting window insulator would maybe block the moisture and also function for what he needed. To keep heat in.
I was actually waiting for what happens when you start driving with those frozen-square tires. They also make a different sound when frozen. Another curious thing which probably won't happen with this Tesla. If you park off the road so that the car is leaning to the other size and then drive back on the road, the car would be visibly tilted, just like if there was a 300kg person sitting on the passinger side. You would also have a very stiff suspension for a couple of minutes until the oil in shock absorbers heats up. Too bad you didn't test the frozen interior and the seats that turn to solid wood. There is one thing I'd like to know, some rubber grommets and seals shrink and become stiff, and if they have the wrong type of lubricant that also freezes and turns to clue, then when the rotating or moving part goes into action it can rip the rubber part in pieces. Have you checked those parts?
1:30 You can only reflects heat, not cold, there is only thermal energy (heat) or absence of it (you just want to keep the thermal energy inside, which translate to "keeping the cold outside" in simpler terms).
It's so cold that Fahrenheit and Celsius is almost the same.
How does that even work? I know I'm a stupid American but Celsius doesn't seem linear at all.
water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 (Celsius) ... it seems quite linear to me. :)
They are both linear, but with different coefficients
Yeah Celsius just has a steeper slope than Fahrenheit, makes sense now thanks
Vitor, It's not possible to determine if a scale is linear from two data points. I'm not sure why people tend to think basing a temperature scale around waters freezing and boiling points is vastly superior to a more relate-able human based scale, but clearly you just wanted to mock Fahrenheit.

0:14 Sounds like a herd of Reindeer crossing the road or something. Totally awesome video Bjørn. You got big cohones spending the night in the car in those temperatures. Thanks for doing all the R&D so we don't have to ;)
19:09 I think it's electric power steering and not hydraulic.
Yes, it's electric. Autosteering wouldn't/cannot work with a hydraulic servo.
I dont even really know what's going on, but it's somehow relaxing (?)
love it lol
Great video Bjorn! Thanks for going through all of that extreme to test for us!
Vibration could also be caused by the oil in the shock absorbers. Probably a combination of that and the tires being rock hard.
TBasianeyes agree, I'd also suspect frozen moisture in the air suspension system that could cause such troubles
I have a feeling that it has no oil, but rather electric things.
@@samip537 they are air
Bjorn need to monitor the CO2 levels during night inside the car. It would make a awesome video.
The car isn't air tight so it doesn't matter.
Someone else said that the Tesla A/C is automated and brings in fresh air from time to time.
Maybe in your 1980 Honda
what an interesting video!
cool guy, bit curious with his behavior but exactly like a goofy friend we all have !
love the random use of cards for everything, spilling water, sleeping in the car.. lovely content!
love youtube for things like this
The little little low tire pressure issue. It's because because of the cold outside. Experienced it self when its really cold. The air shrink when its cold.
Nitrogen is the solution to that 😁 haven't used air in my tires for years now.
Tires loose 1 psi for every 10*f
Another masterpiece video. Thank you bjorn:)
The brakes aren't hot in the Flir One video. Its just because it's a reflective metal surface it gives a false reading :)
+loiphin The brakes were not hot. It was something under the frunk or behind the wheel.
I don't know why this was in my feed, or why I watched it all... but amazing video
"-36°C... thats proper cold... Imma camp in the car now" :DD
Real Thai Viking! Keep it up, Bjørn!
Tip I learnt, to warm up the car quicker and more evenly use the footwell vents because hot air rises. Reverse is true in the summer, cool quicker with the top vents.
They are also bigger and shorter. The dash vents piping sits in the air chamber behind the dash and the small vents mix the air so quickly it feels cold. The dash air also gets cold passing through the chamber. In the summer the big battle is cooling all the interior plastic and foam. Black dash sitting in direct sunlight. I always have the windows wide open with a/c for a bit till that sweltering radiant heat stops hitting me from all angles.
One of the best videos from Bjorn
*5:19** Quick Math!*
Your excitement with the freezing water reminded me of myself when I first moved to Northern Alberta! Next thing you should try is blowing bubbles. haha!
I'd like to point out to anyone that doesn't live in a cold climate that every issue that Bjørn had due to cold, wold also be there with an ICE car. Even the reduced range.
Sleeping in this car with isolation feels like you are in a Spaceship with the displays and stuff I like it
Great test Bjørn. This is very helpful information for DreamCase also ! We believe it could be awesome to go car camp in the winter, and not only summer time. It could make for a great alternative to renting cabins in ski-slopes.
22:47 “looks like something else” *laughs*
Love your videos. Great to see a really happy Tesla owner enjoying his vehicle so much. I can hardly wait to get one.
While you're driving it says -38 C... damn. But it actually got down to -42 C in Norway this winter so it can get very cold indeed. I'd love for Tesla to start to implement some sort of fast battery heating system.
Model Y has it now!
Wow! Love this video! Thanks for sheering! Beautiful experience with this X Modèle Greetings from Switzerland :-)
Was -41°C on wednesday or tuesday.
Remeber filling diesel in -27°C , better just plugging in and getting warm inside the car. EV's can run the heater without exsost that is a hudge benefitt.
I remember driving in -33ºC with diesel that has a "cloud point" at -31ºC. It was excrusiating, was waiting for the car to stall any minute.
Typical cold weather problems like that here in Finland. Gear shifts are slow/stiff. Tyres are like square shaped. Power steering makes weird noise. I'm amazed that tesla even works on that temperature. This video seriously changes my doubts agains tesla..
Probably the -60 you are getting is just the min value of the sensor.. It´s actually the sky reflected in your car which is recognized as -60°C
Beyond the wall and winter ❄️ is here. Great video
Oh Bjorn, you can't reflect what doesn't exist :D
You will probably radiate some heat back in to the car though so good shout. Great video
this guy's excitement about all the small things is so adorable
Flat spots... just drive slowly to get flexibility back into the tyres 👍🏻
Bjorn, can't wait to see you put your Model 3 through the same test!
Enda en grom film Björn ! :D Dine tester på bilene og filmene har vart en stor del av youtube for meg ! :) Tusen takk for alle fine videos :D
Cool video. My own trip yesterday makes so much more sense. I was driving my Twizy after leaving it for 2 days out in the cold. (only like -15 c tho) The sound from the engine was different, steering was harder and i had a battery temperature warning. Kinda cold to drive without heater or windows :-)
0:25 never mind the animals, watch out for the troll and pig-men x_x
Hey Bjorn, welcome to my winter! I love the fact your tires went square - the rubber froze flat ;-)
From all the videos about electric cars , the only thing i learned that you have to be good mathematician to drive an electric car.
19:19 your car does not have power steering fluid no Tesla does or any full battery electric vehicle has power steering fluid. It has a electric motor which helps you turn the wheel it does most of the work you just have to turn it slightly.
*Ikea secretly sponsored this video*
Norway is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Love the cold weather experience.
Love your videos man. Get some go pros and stick them to the car. I am worried of you filming while driving on those conditions. Hugs from Mozambique
No worries. It's allowed.
It is auto pilot
In your opening shot, outside the car, you are wearing a jacket that looks like what i would wear for a spring jacket. Can't believe you aren't wearing a parka and warm hat! You must be one tough Viking!
Amazing stuff. Would have loved to ride live with you in that kind of cold.
Also very bold to put the car in range mode over night. I know why you did it, because of range the other day. But if it where my car, i wouldn't want the battery to reach the cold temperature where the snow flake appears. Its not good for the battery at all. I know it takes time to cool down the battery but as we saw -36 degrees does the trick pretty fast.
Thank you for doing this to your car. I wouldn't have the balls to do it for sure.
I think cold-temperature effects on the battery are mostly temporary, as opposed to heat damage.
Not sure, it destroyed my Smartphone battery very fast. But i charged it with too cold battery, that can not happen with tesla. I think too that heat is more damaging.
But isn't the battery warranty void if one lets the car sit in -20degrees for about 24h without battery heater on? Or something like that?
User manual says don't let it sit in -30 or lower for 24 hour or more.
Nice, thx for the info. Degrees or Fahrenheit?
Hey Bjorn be careful scratching the frost off the inside of the rear window I've damaged my defrost wires doing that in the past. Besides that another Great video!
This is typical winter weather in Saskatchewan Canada. Amazing right?
Ha yea, pretty amazing when you get 12 inches of snow in march :P
Go to northern parts of Norway, like Finnmark and it can be -50-60 C in the winter. We pay people to live there ;-)
Hahaha, first time experiencing the 'square tires' thing. Happens here all the time in the winter! Just drive normally (which means slowly in extreme cold) and the ride smooths out after a while, no big deal. Even winter tires harden up under -25 or so. It's always fun to watch people experience extreme cold for the first time.
Wow - interesting factfinding mission TB, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is tweeted to Elon - more consuming proving. At somepoint they must give you a job :-)
Hopefully not for engineering. Man definitely failed thermo.
It's a common phenomenon in trucking in winter. I simply didn't exceed 80 kilometers until the tires warmed up and the thumping went away. You won't damage anything if you simply use common sense. I would be using cruise control all the time. Steering assist failure simply means the steering motor was detected using way more current than normal. The power steering is 100 percent electric, no hydraulics whatsoever. As the tires warm up your low tire warnings will go away.
Welcome to the world of extreme cold weather driving. It won't prevent you from getting where you want to go but it will open your eyes.
Cheers!
You can't just go full speed if they're thumpy? Surely it wouldn't damage them? I guess they could wear unevenly.
Awesome man, I enjoyed watching your adventure! I just realized we have the same subs count btw 😹🤙
Ayy Edwan
Thank you for all of your informative videos, they’re very helpful with my purchase decision. Stay warm! 👍
I just calculated how much range I would "lose" idling and heating in my 86 for 6 hours. Turns out it would be very similar value, about 80km of range! ;
0:33 turns around and sees slenderman in the car.
P.S.: Temperature radtation goes with the temperature difference to the power of 4. So if it's "twice as cold" (-37°C instead of -6°C if your surface is 25°C), you radiate away 16x more energy.
Also does the hood stand in thermal contact with upper sky layers which are colder than the surrounding (the reason why it gets cold at all and why windows may get icy while temperature is above o°C). So it can actually have less than -37°C.
Your Flir..it could be -60. Black body radiation might drop it that far. You're parked out in the open..so possible. What a testimony to the robustness of the Tesla. This is valuable info. I suspect when you were first driving things got colder with the wind and all.
that humming sound is rather soothing
3:20 literly Life Support
I'm thinking of winter list for Tesla driving:
- 12V jump pack?
- Insulated tent for car with way to safely warm inside tent, to fix issues such as cold oils, cold battery maybe, etc.
- Full size spare battery or two
- Usual insulating things and blankets like you pointed out as well as cold weather survival gear
- Maybe a satellite phone known to work in that area
- Know who to call in those situations
- Caravan with others with similar backup capabilities?
- Maybe a way to add charge if you are far from charging location; I'm not sure if the Model X can physically carry enough solar panels, islanding inverters, inverter battery and HPWC to charge the car fast enough to keep the car warm enough to recharge in that temperature?
It looks like something else 😂😂
Wonderful landscape, Bjørn.
Good video!
The tire issue is called "morgonsula" in Swedish, meaning just what you mentioned. They get deformed.
Hahaha “it looks like something else”, what was the feeling temperature btw?
+Nick De Groot about -40°C
Try bring your sleeping bag and lay down in the deep freezer for 30 minutes. That is "warm" compared to -36C.
@@jonbaklien8028 Do you mean chest freezer? All household freezers chill to 0*F Sushi freezers chill to -20*F Either one would be warm in comparison. I think they make sleeping bags for ice expeditions that are rated to -20 but you would probably be uncomfortable.
Steering assist was reduced due to a detected issue. In ford vehicles if there is an issue with P/S or steering assist the assist feature will be reduced or disabled automatically. to lessen any further damage to the system. I believe that was the case with the steering issue. Likely the temperature reduced the batteries output causing some systems to be affected and deemed inoperable by the PCM or whatever Tesla's have.
The tires either had snow attached to them or the run-flat system inside was sitting too long in too low temperatures and the rubber/foam was "molded" (for lack of a better word) with a temporary flat spot.
This guy called his tesla optimus prime
This came on my feed again. I’m more amazed how outdated the software looks now, with the improved car visualisation etc.
Nice, I hoped you would do this.
from Alberta Canada, never had any trouble with my 03 340k km Subaru forester, not plugged in it will start in -40. only thing that changes is cruse control won't work for the first 5min or so. use the right oil and get a car thats not complete crap and you should be fine. (not a happy start, but went after 2-3 4s cranks)
would be nice to see pictures of an infrared camera to see where the heat loss happens at those low temps. And I think if the care was perfectly sealed there should be a real problem with oxygen don't you think?
haha now I see the infrared ...
Problems with insufficient ventilation is not lack of oxygen most of the time...it's the build up of CO2 that's the main problem.
OK and the CO2 can escape in normal situation in a car?
Waldiltis Well...off course gases escape from the car. The trick is to let it escape at least as fast as you are adding it. So ventilate ;). And then keep the concentration of CO2 below dangerous or uncomfortable levels.
so in the end you need ventilation after a few ours sitting in the car right? (what the video was about)
Those heat shields caused the ice on the inside.... Wouldnt be there if you took them out. It's because it will condensate, called the dew point.
His breathing caused the ice, well that and cold. A tighter fitting window insulator would maybe block the moisture and also function for what he needed. To keep heat in.
Do you work on this channel full time?
I don't know about when he made this video, but now he does, and has a patreon too.
I’m so glad this is in my recommended
Pappa er derfra Hahah, han sa at når de var små pleide dem å ta på en ekstra ullongs når det passerte -40grader
My preferred sleeping temp is about 15-16 degrees C (60° F). A nice down comforter would also be nice. In Buffalo, NY it rarely gets below -5° F!
Watch out for wolves looking for an asian snack.
😳🙄😔🤦🏻♂️
Wolf is nothing like Bear, it can't break into your car at night. "Asian snack" is still a "snack", don't be racist.
I he is norwegian. Maybe his ancestors are from somewhere in Asia
VoideG It’s in his profile page. He was born in Thailand and his Chinese/Thai parents came to Norway when he was 4.
it looks like something else! .. Priceless!!!
I was actually waiting for what happens when you start driving with those frozen-square tires. They also make a different sound when frozen. Another curious thing which probably won't happen with this Tesla. If you park off the road so that the car is leaning to the other size and then drive back on the road, the car would be visibly tilted, just like if there was a 300kg person sitting on the passinger side. You would also have a very stiff suspension for a couple of minutes until the oil in shock absorbers heats up. Too bad you didn't test the frozen interior and the seats that turn to solid wood. There is one thing I'd like to know, some rubber grommets and seals shrink and become stiff, and if they have the wrong type of lubricant that also freezes and turns to clue, then when the rotating or moving part goes into action it can rip the rubber part in pieces. Have you checked those parts?
The Tesla has air shocks
1:30 You can only reflects heat, not cold, there is only thermal energy (heat) or absence of it (you just want to keep the thermal energy inside, which translate to "keeping the cold outside" in simpler terms).
